Ok. Thats it. I've had enough!
My old 3mm cherry-red tip Scope (not-the-mini) soldering iron has just gotta be history.
Great for contact separation of FETs from mobos or high voltage Buzzbar work but zero finesse and no forgiveness whatsoever - it's just outa control.
I need an iron that will do the soldering for me while I am falling asleep over the 2 oclock mobo.
Time to invest in a state of the art grounded tip, temeprature controlled laserbeam Robo-solder 5000 or somefin like that!
But what to get? Goot? Duratech? Weller? Ebay Trifecta? Double sided flat-tip? Round conical tip? Stainless steel tip? 2mm? 0.2mm? yada yada yada???? It's so complicated!
What do you high end pros reckon is the best tool for the job, bearing in mind that I cannot afford a gold plated MIB automatic beta desoldering prototype.
Probably somewhere around Oz$200 would do it for me.
What specs and features should I look for?
Any one brand /model a contender for the gold cup?
Help!
