Last time I was at sears I saw a reasonable looking station, I think it was $50 ?

I looked into Grainger. They are not a consumer retailer. See below taken from their website. Too bad. They have everything you could ever need.

"Please be advised that Grainger is a wholesaler, not a consumer retailer. As such, we sell to other businesses. If you are a new customer to Grainger, you may be asked to provide business identification (U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), copy of business license, etc.) before we ship your first order. "

Huh, been waiting for something to go wrong with my RS soldering station for, oh, 4 years now, and it still performs well. Of course, some might point out that is why I can't do SMD, or struggle with everything else.

Maybe when I grow up, I'll get a real soldering station. Or somesuch.

I finally bought myself a proper iron fx-888.
