Getting tired of the poor heater control, fiddly handle, wonk grounding etc.
Used it for a few years on and off and would like something more dependable as I'm starting to work with more temp-sensitive components.
Have a bunch of genuine JBC C245 cartridges that I've accumulated.
Anyone able to recommend a station that's noticeably better than the T3A clone but doesn't cost a few thousand?
Mostly for working on small 8-pin DIP packages, 0402 surface mount, etc.
I might be interested in rigging up a desoldering pump jig (I have vacuum pumps, can 3D print a handle'n stuff using the JBC spare part)
Desolder tweezers would be nice but more of a want than a need
