Has anyong looked at the 3 in 1 853D SMD DC Power Supply Hot Air Iron Gun Rework Soldering Station from China that is selling for about $ 12 to $ 15 wth free shipping on ebay now ?
I bought one similar without the low voltage power supply/meter a few years back. They were around $ 60 back then. While I am sure it would not hold up under heavy use , it works very well for my maybe once month use.
I just put one on order as a spare at that price. There are several sellers at that price and several more at the $ 50 or so range.
