Is the Hakko FR301 desoldering station really worth 4X the price of the Duratool D00672 (clone of the ZS915)? Here are my thoughts on the subject!
I take a look at sizes, build quality, noise, ease of use, more noise, cleaning blockages, and how well they perform in a completely unscientific head to head test.
