"Kalashnikov of soldering stations" - I like that ! It's very true as
well. I have had two Weller Magnastat irons in constant daily use for
years, and also have a '900 series vacuum desoldering station which
uses the same iron. Agreed also on the tip choice that you advocate.

I must be odd in not much liking Weller. I've had Antex for over 40 years
and prefer the balance and weight.


After using the Weller WRS 3000 iron, all others I have been using forever,
seem like holding baseball bats, trying to solder.
