What soldering iron do you use/wish you were using?

I like the Weller DS100 Solder/Power Desoldering Station

Some bullshit I bought at Radio Shack for $12.99

Me too...35w.

I've heard Metcal is the bomb ( and know many who say so, religiously).

I'm using a Hakko 936. For the price it's hard to beat.

It's built a studios worth of equipment, and an assload of microphones, and still goin strong

i am hating the radio shack 20/40 watt iron. flimsy, lightweight base that alsways falls on the floor at least once per soldering session and the tips are suckjobs too.

That's what I've got. I like it. Heats up in seconds.

Ive got a Weller WTCPT and it annoys the hell out of me. IT cools down if I put it down fro more than 1 minute. Just flakey.

Goot RX 711 (AS)

It's nice and comfortable to hold, with a thin pliable cable that doesnt get in the way much

The Weller WESD51 is "da bomb"!
Being able to set the temp is very useful.
