Not sure what forum to stick this in, so... figured I'd play it save and post it here!
Had a long post typed, but decided it was more info than anyone really cared about, and so I won't beat around the bush lol
I've got a cheap Weller SP23L that needs a new tip, which my brass bolt I modified and put in it works better than the original copper one, but it is still a constant 25W at the end of the day...
Don't do much except tinkering, so a high dollar unit wouldn't be needed, though I admit a Hakko would be awesome 🙂 That being said, what are the opinions on this unit?
Soldering Station Adjustable Temperture 15w-60w (Made by Solomon)
It's at the extent of my budget for one sadly, but I think it'd beat the $15 ones that look identical to the Weller models that cost $60+ :\
Thanks!

Oh... hah 😱 Guess I didn't noticed the Tools/Equipment forum 🙄 *sigh* Thanks! haha
EDIT:After reading that thread, it is enough to convince me that I'll be more than happy with it, even if the unit he was talking about was a higher end digital model 🙂 Regardless I think I'm going to go ahead and get it! So, thanks again!
