I have an MBT station at work that has 3 channels. We got it with a
whole pile of tips, handles, etc. I used it for a while for both
soldering and desoldering, but am now doing a lot of extreme
micro-soldering on chips with 0.5mm lead pitch, and we needed a real
micro iron. So, we got a Weller WSL with the WMP micro-pencil, which is
actually a darn good general iron for all electronic work.

Does anyone know what happened to the Edsyn "Loner" iron? That
used to be my favorite, but I don't see them offered any more. Complete
thermal control of the tip in a very lightweight and skinny handle.

Enjoy,
DoN.
