Best iron for the money

[SavageClouds]

So I have began creating a parts list an reading threads to begin building my own box mod.. I have an old 15$ soldering iron for Walmart and am looking to upgrade to a solid time proven iron.

Any suggestions?

my iron that i use the most is the weller wlc100 station. has worked great for years, and the only times i don't use it is when i need to use a gun instead or need a butane one. not too expensive either.

By far the best for the money is below. Several people that I know have this and I've used. Hakko 936 clone...

Soldering Station with Adjustable Heat Range (USA Warehouse)

If you don't solder every working day, only occasionally, I would recommend a cheap chinese constant-temperature soldering iron. Choose power 60 watts - it allows to heat up very quickly. There is a lot of these irons. For example - soldering iron - Free Shipping - DX
Just choose needed voltage and power. 12-15 bucks - and you get almost real soldering station

Mine is this iron: NO-905c 60W Professional Electric Soldering Iron - Free Shipping - DealExtreme It's 220 volts, so, if you live in US, you have to choose another, for 110 volts.

Do you fly? I have the same iron from HobbyKing for about a year now. I have many many hours of use out of mine and still going strong * knocks on wood* It uses the Hakko 936 tips also. Highly recommend best 15-16 bucks you can spend .

Since I already have a heavy duty soldering gun, I picked up this to solder my Arlo mod. Works like a charm and only cost $4.00!

-For the money and for occasional use, it works just fine.
