If you ditch this crap and choose to buy another soldering station, I recommend Xytronic. It's a Taiwanese company, but here in Poland they are considered as a solid piece of equipment for hobby/serious hobby use (which is probably because stuff like Hakko, Weller and Pace are our of range for hobbyists).
I never saw what would really look like a fake one (too cheap to counterfeit?). Many different types of irons, hot tweezers, hot airs and even infra red rework systems (although these are not cheap
). I recently bought LF1600 with standard 108ESD pencil (80W, grounded, ceramic heater, digital temp control) and I'm really pleased with it. I bought it for PLN 355 which is roughly $110.
It's real joy to use this tool as compared to Pensol Solomon SL20CMC (chinese, not that cheap, extremly durable - they were used in my university's student workshops and survived)which i was using before.
