I second what Padu says. I have been using the circuitspecialists irons for about three years and now that is all we use. We have several that is used in our assembly and they do a very good job. That is all we use now. Derward ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason" To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public."

The tip for a nice station is still only $5, why can't this tip be used on a cheap iron? The high wattage and regulated output is nice, but doesn't really seem worth the price; a low wattage unregulated should be fine. It seems like all that really matters is the tip. > > Thanks > -- > http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive > View/change your membership options at > http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist > -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
