I've got a Pace 65-SX desoldering station and love it! Mine is driven off of shop air, but they do make the Snap-Vac self contained units. They also make control units that can drive multiple handpieces such as soldering irons and specialized tools for surface mount work. Whatever brand you get, I definately recommend getting one! You won't believe the difference it makes in repair work. -Chris

Who has experience with desoldering / rework tools?
I do all of my work with a hand vacum pump now.
I've heard good things about the PACE SX80 system.
Ideally I'm interested in a self contained unit versus shop air (I've got shop air but it isn't convienent).
Which is quieter?
I can see my needs expanding, needing tweezers, hot air etc. What platform is best for expansion?
JROK posted about a paste for rework, but that is apparently expensive.
Thanks, Kev
