Thanks to amazon keeping a record of my order history for forever, I can say I've bought the following items in the past couple years (after the 1980's era stuff my dad left me finally wore out):
Weller soldering station:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AS28UC/
Fine tip:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002BSP4K/
One of those cheap-o "Helping Hands" things:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RB38X8/
Desoldering braid:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019V5MAC/
Solder:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00068IJNQ/
Flux:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZIV85A/
I'd say that all of these things kind of suck, but I've successfully repaired a few items with them, including replacing a PoE module on an IP telephone which saved us around $300, so I guess it was worth it. My lack of skill and shaky hands are probably more to blame than any failings on any of the above items.
I've been curious about the tweezers and the sucker, but haven't gotten around to investigating them very much. As such I'll be following this thread with interest, lol.
