For 250 dollars. iFixit is turning to the Apple of repair.

Soldering stations that are fixed to an outlet are also expensive. It's not a cheap tool kit. If it is cheap, it's a garbage iron that will likely do the job but you will struggle.

I'm trying to buy one for work and every station worth considering is easily over 200 dollars US.

The pinecil is an excellent iron that is not expensive in the slightest

That thing is pretty awesome! I've never heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion.
