I’ve still got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/SOLDER-STATION-40W-120V-ST3/dp/B000AS28UC
Got it as a starter iron back in 2019(?) and learned to solder on it. I’m sure there’s a lot better stuff out there but this one works well enough that I haven’t felt the need to get a new one, instead I’ve just expanded my tool library.
Got a Hakko FR-301 desoldering gun, works well I’d say. Hard to create any tool that does well on P4 motherboard ground planes…
The hot air station I’ve got is a Quick 861DW I believe. It’s remarkably quiet! Haven’t used it that much but it seems to be pretty high quality, works great the couple times I’ve needed it since getting it a couple months ago.
