[Boatanchors] What solder station to buy?

Tue Apr 7 22:59:13 EDT 2009

I use a WES51 at work every day.
This station dissipates static so is safe for hollowstate work.
You can change the temperature at the station.
You can change the tips for most any but the largest chassis soldering.
I use this for surface mount work also.

You can buy the digital version of this iron, but 
why spend the money to bee exact on the temperature.
