Yeah, exactly like that. Tons of different versions with slight variations in firmware, UI or handle.

Not all of them. https://www.amazon.com/SEALODY-Digital-Soldering-Iron-Station-seconds-heating-up-Soldering-Station/dp/B07ZCTM3CV
And there are at least one or two open-source soldering station designs floating around that you can build yourself if you wanna go that route. The UniSolder comes to mind.

You could build this for like $1 if youāre willing to scrounge.
Itās all about the tradeoff between effort, quality and price.
Want good and cheap? make it yourself from dumpster dive parts.
Want good and easy? Pay the man.
You want easy and cheap? Try banging rocks together.

Randy Rubinstein of SRA Solder (www.sra-solder.com) is fukking awesomeā¦ I bought one of his solder stationsā¦ it was there like a
a month into using itā¦ i had a problemā¦ I called himā¦ described the problemā¦
and he shipped out a replacement that day and a return postage sticker and a note that saidā¦
"send back your broken station when you get a chance*
I now buy everything solder related from him

hey @whaddys ifān you decide to go the bangUUd route may I suggest you throw in a few of their surface mount PCB kits, cheap as henās teethā¦ fine motor skills, qwick heat and leave, and temperature control, while soldering, is best learned on the small scale
after you know how to do that shitā¦ you can solder almost anythingā¦ I feel a buncha kidz just start soldering and wonder why they canāt solder braid an 10gaā¦
but WTFā¦ Iām a k00kā¦

Its 10lb minimum on shrink. Thatās a lot of stock to carry and ship.
If I picked only one color and size. What mm?
@whaddys I 10000% agree with Kook. After fighting 0402 sized fly-shits, the bigger stuff really seems almost trivial.
