A soldering iron station: any experience here?

[camallison]

Hakko is a recognised brand used in Far-Eastern manufacturing lines. I suspect it is pretty similar to the Weller range. You might ask the vendor about availability and price of replacement tips, and if Weller tips would be suitable. The brand is often seen as being for sale on other international electronics forums such as eevblog - see http://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwant...g-station/

As they say on there, make sure you buy genuine Hakko tips - available on ebay.
