Basic BGA setup

Hi All,

I do PC/Laptop repair and are finding some jobs I cant do because they need a BGA rework.

I dont admit to being a pro with respect to BGA, and thus a purchase decision is hard.I have been looking at :

http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_rework.html

I am open to any and all suggestions from people on here about the best way to proceed. I dont see a lot of point at the moment spending too much as I wont know what I need till i have more experiance, and the Hakko system can be brought one peice at a time which is good.

A metcal 3592 second hand sounds good, but have not seen any second hand and dont know the price?

Look forward to any tips.

Al
