Pat, I would suggest getting a demo of the Hakko hot air station (part number 852-3) and pre-heater (853-2) to see if it meets your specific requirements. You can purchase a variety of different nozzles designed to work on specific part types. You should find it to be in the lower part of your price range. Good luck. -Steve Steven K.
