What soldering irons are best.....
 

Ive decided to upgrade from my crappy 30w to something that will do a bit better.Im looking for something under 50 bucks.Ive seen 100w cheap ones on ebay for 15 or so.What are your suggestions?
Thanks for all the help:nod:

i suggest you try the search button

Get the Hobbico 60watt model, best 8.99 I spent.... It's what goes to the track with me... If you want to spend a lot more, get a Hakko 936.... I leave my Hakko home...

I can't speak for the Hobbico one, but I LOVE my Hakko 936 and would highly recommend it.

Honestly, my 936 is just one more thing to get broken in transit, plus it isn't small...

He has less than 50 to spend... Buy 5 of the hobbico irons and be done.... He's not going to find anything else decent (new) for under 50....

My 936 goes with me to track.....

For a little more you can have one of these http://www.hobbyshopper.com/

or you can get one of these for about $35 if you want just an iron.

Check out the Hakko 456....HOT, with a nice sized tip for doing batteries, but still small enough to work with motors etc...:D

I've got 2 irons in the for sale section that would suite your needs, check them out!

u can get a weller 40w that i have and it works GREAT when i turned it on and went to go wet the sponge...when i go back it was already HOT! go to www.electronixexpress.com and get it for REAL CHEAP!!! its too late for the 13 dollar rebate on it though..already ended, but its still the lowest price u can get brand new!

Fro under $50.00
