If you get one i recommend one of these tips for the heavy guage wire. http://www.circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/7549

Remember whichever iron you get to keep your tip tinned at all times, and don't leave it on when you aren't using it, Mine takes like 10-20 seconds to heat up so there is no need to leave it on.
