Title: Best in Desoldering Stations - JBC DDSE-2B REWORK STATION
Post by: Harb on March 15, 2018, 03:40:10 am

Not sure if this is the right place, but here goes.....a Question that has been asked before, but I am after Current Info.

If money was not an object, what would you consider to be the out and out best Desoldering Station available today ?

Its time to upgrade, and I cover all forms of construction, so availability of Acc's are important also.

Yeah I have a bit of older Pace gear....its ok.
I have been looking at the HAKKO FR-410 but I am undecided still........I was wondering if there is a better choice and why.......and then there is which handpiece, the pistol grip or straight one....and again why.

Hakko seem to have recently matched the key Pace advantages: a clog-prevention system, and tips specifically for cleaning SMD pads.

I must have a look at the new Pace......mine are years old, and maybe they are still the way to go...

JBC DDSE-2B REWORK STATION

anyone have an opinion on these......are they a good thing


I am going back and forth between the FR-410 Hakko which is a stand alone Desoldering station, or going with a Soldering / Desoldering station, the JBC DDSE-2B REWORK STATION which I can get at a good price.
