I’m the owner of a small business in Las Vegas, NV. I’ve taken up repairing locals’ controllers and some console repair. I’ve gotten decent with a soldering iron and fixing sticks on controllers by replacing the sticks. I really want to get better and start using a heat gun, but need help with a choice. My budget is up to about $100-$150 (I know I’m cheap, but like I said, I’m a SMALL business owner).
I appreciate any and all time. Thanks.
I know Louis Rossman would crucify me for this (youtu.be/fV6wXxfYo-s) but I actually didn’t have an issue with the Baku 601D (ebay.ca/itm/172602609533). Especially when you buy some proper tips for the soldering iron. (ebay.ca/itm/174338588791) Maybe Rossman bought a lemon.

Yep, I suppose he would. I have no experience with them.
I have a Weller WT900 and a Hakko FR-810B. My next one or if I were starting out I would go with the
Quick 861 DW or the Atten ST-862D.
If your budget is 100-150 I would hold off and save.
My 2 cents
