Recommendations for a solder station with solder tweezers

[thatChangeFromGToEminor]

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a solder station at has the traditional tip end and solder tweezers too, swapable or at the same time?

I am also struggling to find a flux that is a gel at room temperature and sticks around when the iron touches it, the best I have found is a rosin with is solid at room temperature, so it is hard to remove from the circuit board.

I would prefer retailers on the european continent if possible.

Thank you.

Not cheap, but I used an older version of this where I used to work.

Aye that is not cheap, much like this one, WELLER 200W 2-Channel Soldering Station with Soldering Iron & Desoldering Tweezers WX 2021 GTIN UPC EAN: 400301942545. The Ersa iCON 2 seems to be in that price range too. about double I was hoping the max spend for all the kit. Thank you for the recommendations.

@thatChangeFromGToEminor For budget conscious look at Yinhua/WEP. They aren't top notch quality but equally they aren't awefull.

Maybe get two/three separate stations:

- china clone/compatible Hakko T12 station with either original Hakko tips or low cost China tips.

- SMD tweezer rework station

- hot air station
