    Aoyue is a Chinese made unit (what isn't made in China anymore?) that apparently closely mimics some of Hakko's models. From the gist of the above review, it sounds like Aoyue makes a good bang-for-the-buck soldering station for DIY'ers.
    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

    For the cost of a plug-in 25watt iron (or less), you can get a station. At this price you could buy another one or two as back-ups.
