Everyone that has ever soldered knows in this hobby about this little guy. I got one too, but it isn't very practical once the PCB is larger than the size of a credit card. I was looking around at the professional ones and those are like $150 and up. And the prices on CL aren't much less. Found this one on eBay and bought it. Since I am a hobbyist, I didn't want to pay too much. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
I remember when worked at Plextor, the RMA guys always had this at their desks for repair jobs. And I was working on my first SMD soldering job, I messed that up good and sent it off to @Mitsurugi-w to fix it. I think I just misaligned my chip with my cross-eyed vision. Any of you guys use such a thing and find value in it? If so, which one do you have and how much did you pay for it.
