Robert Reverse Engineer Apr 4, 2019 #4 I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/F2C-858D-Soldering-Stations-Accessories/dp/B01NCB4SQ7 It works fine but I really don't use it all that often unless I need to remove an SMD IC.... It's mostly a heat-shrink tool these days.

It's mostly a heat-shrink tool these days. Click to expand... I got the 69.99 one, but it wasn't 59.99 it was 39.99 at the time.
