Hi

The Antex 690sd is very good but not cheap

Since 30 years i use Weller products. They are expensive but ultra durable.  
My Weller station from 1989 is still working fine. The soldering iron was defectiv 3 months ago and i just bought a new spare for my “old” station - working well again and the parts are still available.
