      OK - any of us who do any amount of desoldering would rather have the Hakko station. For the money though, this cannot be beat. Desoldering with one hand! I've had mine at least 6 months now nad have used it a lot. One tip lasted me quite a while, and new ones were cheap. Great all the way around.

      To remove the barrel assembly, lift/pry up the push rod as close to the barrel as possible. Be aware that the internal spring will pop out! IMHO, the 21-8241 tip is the most useful. Grease the barrel and plunger with vaseline to keep the solder from sticking & park in the UPRIGHT POSITION [tip up] to keep the solder from falling back into the heating element. Get some 1/16" music wire at a hobby shop to make a tip cleaner. This desoldering tool is great for home users or one off repair jobs. I plugged mine into a light dimmer to regulate the temperature and idle. Geek1945
