POLL: Do you own a soldering iron.

[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.

[accident]

i have several floating around the house

[SoEm0]

I got a pos one right now, but i am getting myself a new weller for xmas. yay me!

[Wh33lhop]

I've got two Radio Shack butane specials and some POS electric one lying around somewhere, but I'll use one of the Wellers we have at work if I need to do anything serious. I work with a bunch of electrical engineering grad students, but apparently I'm the only one who can lay out a circuit and solder.

I have a handful. Not that I use them much though.

[AndrewBird]

I highly recommend this one for heavier stuff:

Smaller stuff I use a 15watt Radio Shack iron. I also have a butane micro torch with soldering tip for portable work. I'd love to have a digital temperature controlled one though, but those are $$$.

[RAYREY]

yes yes yo! At work and at home!

[Nic01101011]

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

[blackhawkimpact]

Yes, but still learning

[txtorquemade]

Not very proficient but I can fix a wiring problem or two with my cheapass AutoZone model.

[Dude]

I have 2 that ive never maintained and they work like shit and barely do anything. Kind want a soldering gun, I hate having to wait for these things to heat up.

[stumble_t]

I use an older Hakko 931 station

Also, I have a Weller/Portasol PSI100 for the portable

[IminDiegoTriick]

Solder irons are a definate MUST if you dont want friends or paying people doing your electrical shit. I think its fun soldering

[nando]

there's nothing really wrong with the 30w radioshack iron for occasional use. just keep the tip tinned and it does the job just fine.

[2002maniac]

I have a crappy one from Radio shack and need to upgrade to a decent model. What's a good budget iron for someone who seldom solders?
