My iron I got with my 3-1 rework station keeps falling apart. Suggestions on a good iron? As well as tips to go with it? Current iron does not fit some extra tips I bought for it :/. Thanks!!
This is it how it connects.

Mine is a yuasa rework station. Cant fault it.
An iron with a link would be appreciated! I already have a station
Yihua 8786d I got it off ebay
Hey there,
If you’re looking only for an iron I can highly recommend the JBC T245 or T210 soldering stations. I currently use a custom built station (a modified UniSolder, google it, should be easy to find on dangerousprototypes) with a T245 handle and various tips. Watch out, prices for the JBC equipment is high, but definitely worth it.

I’m a fan of the Hakko FX-888 series. A bit expensive but solid:

I like the Weller WES51 with the pencil iron, used they are pretty inexpensive and the tips are pretty cheap on Amazon.

I have a Hakko FX-888D converted to 230v. It was cheaper to convert from 110v to 230v than to buy one in the UK. Ridiculously expensive to purchase here. 
Now I just need a hot air station.
