KSGER Hot Air Soldering Station

[Rixi]

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply!

The $20 you mentioned is for the "classic" 858D with the bulky head unit -- correct? I'm asking, because there is also a KSGER labled as 858D around (even from the ES warehouse ):
https://www.banggood.com/KSGER-1_3inch-858D-Hot-Air-Heater-Rework-Station-STM32-OLED-Temperature-Controller-4Pcs-Nozzles-p-1407439.html?warehouse=ES&ID=0&p=V115180786332012094J&custlinkid=1779410
Not sure where to get the classic 858D for $20. The cheapest ones I found are are around $35 shipped.

And the $35 classic 858D is what I am comparing to the $52 HANDSKIT I mentioned above. For me, the HANDSKIT has on the pro side that it comes with a lot of nozzles, a separated stand for the hand piece, the fancy OLED, the neat jog dial and of course the smaller form factor which nicely combines with a T12...  For me that would be worth the $17 price difference.

Any thoughts on the HANDSKIT?

Cheers,
Rixi

Yep, the classic 858.
Got mine for $22, and last time I checked it was $17 shipping included!

It's crazy right now, $35, $50... some asking $20 for shipping only!
