Interesting soldering iron for psp?
« on: February 01, 2008, 03:46:01 PM »
What do you guys think of this soldering iron? http://www.howardelectronics.com/xytronic/253.html I think it might be quite interesting for soldering small stuff like the psp or 0603 leds since i am just sick of my HUGE soldering iron. I would love to use something really handy with extremly small tip in a size of a pen. If you have any good links for micro soldering irons post them and share your opinions about them!

this soldering iron is an interesting start what it really comes down to is skill (that which I am working on) you can read it over and over again but start with a  15wAtt iron, test yourself, and learn how to better APPLY yourself
