I've been waiting for a 50% off with free shipping Direct Tools deal for months now as I would like a chance to stock up on some factory blemish Ryobi One+ tools. In my experience; factory blemish is basically new with very little if any cosmetic damage...

Some parts like the plastic molding and the iron itself are manufactured superbly yet the cord connected to the iron is terrible, the motherboard's construction is disappointing, and the power supply is an odd but acceptable choice.
Overall, the review is a mixed bag given the fact he never actually used the thing which is pretty lazy of him considering the effort and time he spent deconstructing it. (If I had to guess, he probably broke it by taking it apart ergo he couldn't use it)
As for the best soldering Iron overall; the Hakko FX888 [amazon.com] is praised for its quality and longevity. I however hate the accursed thing because its UI is terrible. It's a big esoteric procedure just to adjust the temperature and you will need to read the manual to decipher its crappy UI.
I don't solder often, about once every three months, so I forget how to adjust the temp and need to read the manual every time I try to use it. Adjusting temperature on an iron should not be so frustrating and counter intuitive. Perhaps I'm an idiot though as the Hakko FX888 is indeed well regarded, highly rated and most think it's the best price to quality ratio you are going to get...

It's funny that you mention 10 years because that's approximately the last time I did research what was the best soldering station. back then I came to the conclusion that the Hakko FX888 was the best bang for the buck.
I would give you rep but that option seems to be disabled; I'm assuming it's because you are a new member here. Hopefully I'll be able to give you some in a few weeks time...
