ersa rds80. i have no idea if you can buy them in USA. but i surely rocks. no comparison to simply low power, non temp controlled irons. desoldering thick multi gauge cables from the engine is super easy with 80w power. and soldering pcbs with low temperature and small 0.8mm tip is super fun now.

it was €130.-, but it's worth every cent.

ps. @admin: i hope it's ok to direct link to that page - if there are any concers pls just delete my post. thx!
This thing is awesome!

I finally made my choice and ordered the Hakko FX-888 the replacement for Hakko 936 series. Hakko also offers wraps like the Hakko Checkpoint 936 model for them. I picked one up for $80 same price as the remaining 936 models still on the market.
