Re: Soldering Iron For PCB's
Well said Stuart.
I would go for an Antex every time. I did buy a cheap Lidl soldering station a few years ago as an experiment, but found it had very poor temperature control and the bit wore quickly. I soon went back to my 30 year old Radiospares badged 18W Antex. (See #23.)
I would certainly use Weller/Metcal pro gear if somebody gave it to me, and don't doubt that it would work very well. I'm not going to spend my own money on it though.
