Soldering Iron

[Matt R.]

Can someone recommend me a good one for pickup installation? Keep in mind I'm not a pro, this would be for my own use but I'd like it to be able to hold consistent temperature (obviously) and be a quality low cost unit. Thanks!

I use a 30 watt Weller soldering station. A great feature is the variable temp control and sponge holder. I do quite a bit of soldering and typically get 5+ years out of a unit before the iron gives up

All the best,

I use this one. Fairly decent, holds temperature at different levels, consistent, and the "station" is actually quite comfortable.
For 20 bucks, not much more you can ask for.

That's the same unit that Build Your Own Clone sells, thay say it's the best you can buy without spending $100. I just got one, haven't used it yet. I have a Radio Shack 40 watt that I use for amp and guitar, and a 15 watt for PCB boards.
