Technetters, I'm looking into purchasing a rework/repair station. During my research, I have noticed that there are four major competitors: Pace, Metcal, Weller, and Hakko. Can anyone tell me the pros/cons about any of these or any other manufacture of rework stations? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
