POLL: Do you own a soldering iron.

[accident]

i have several floating around the house

[evil_twin]

I got 2. A snap on one and 1 from Weller. I like the weller one a lot, but it needs a new tip.

[kway]

Still got the old weller I've had since my R/C days as a kid. I never knew some people had so much trouble with soldering. Guess I'm a natural.

[5spoke]

I have one, and I used it last night.

[blunttech]

I have several, and used to be really good when I built robots. I could probably solder pretty well now though.

I built a robot to do my soldering for me
He can also remove soldering irons from my twinky hole

[McGyver]

i just use it to splice wires.

[F34R]

I be crafty, I use it for modding xbox controllers and repairing consoles. Also on audio wiring, I like it better than crimp connecters.

I just purchased this Stahl Tools variable temperature soldering station for $12:

No, it's not a Weller-but from the reviews on the website and on some other forums it works great and is a bargain for only $12. I will be building some tube amp kits for home use soon so this should come in handy.

I use one for r/c cars and radios

[Need4Speed1299]

I have 3. Im a crafty motherfucker. :D

[AE_m20]

[LJ851]

all of my shit's got lights on it so i can solder in the dark if my power goes out. word.

[BillBrasky]

I've soldered quite a few 25 pin RS-232 cables over the years. In fact, I need to solder 4 more right now.

If you own one, or even if you dont, check this shit out right here. probably the most epic, most informative 5 minutes on all of youtube. real shit

[AbsorbantNut]

I have like 5:giggle:

two guns, but only 1 still works

I started soldering at about...10? Thats when I moved on from the wire crimping stage, which was after the twist and tape stage;)
