Question do you guys have a station or a device that can be used for when building a circuit on a pcb, 5v or 12v to send power to the parts. I see some Chinese irons got this feature. im just asking. This Iron will be my go to device for doing some work. I don't see it at all on amazon so will have to buy it from you guys directly.

If the software recognizes that a medium iron is plugged into the base, then the software should automatically limit the maximum temperature the user can set (on the slider) to 850 instead of 940 as shown in the video. It already knows > 850 is not allowed so why not just limit the slider to the valid parameters of the iron plugged into the base?

I'm guessing that's because the software isn't made specifically for the 972/971

Not impressed with the weller brand so far. 2 pen types, one failed the other no spare tips available. So far from all ive seen i think i will make an effort to buy a hakko. Currently my ps4 controller has stick drift. I bought two magnetic hall effect sticks to replace the old ones but god damn are they a bitch to unsolder from the board. The chinese tip set i bought for my weller just were not durable and the enamel eroded or got scrapped off and could not transfer the heat efficiently into the solder on the board. And forget using a solder wick. I was thinking to just buy a hakko tip and use it on my already butchered weller, but i think i might just buy a whole hakko unit instead. So now i have a question for you, which model would you recommend for situations such as my ps4 controller? I really dont think they wanted anyone to desolder the joysticks at all bcoz the weller handled the vibration motor wires very easily. I didnt have low melt solder on hand, but i managed to wiggle the joysticks off the board however i am currently having trouble cleaning the holes to mount the new sticks. Its quite frustrating. The weller has been doing the job up until this point, ive done many jobs with it. Its only a 40w unit. But anything with a heatsink on it just soaks up the heat and wont melt the solder. And now this ps4 controller. Let me know pls, most likely the purchase will made off amazon.ca.

It's wonderful how you guys eliminated the best tool you ever made. Yes let's spend $1k for a station that doesn't have a desoldering tool. Smh. You should've made this exactly like the FM 203. 8 different hand pieces lol. But no desoldering tool.
