I moved last week and I seem to have misplaced my soldering iron. Any suggestions for a new one?

How much money do you have? An "Ersa iCon pico" or "nano" is pretty nice, and very good to use.

I can spend up to 200, but I'd rather keep it lowish. I currently am looking at this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3565moooarcuuuus wrote: ↑Mon Aug 14, 2017 7:00 amHow much money do you have? An "Ersa iCon pico" or "nano" is pretty nice, and very good to use.

This is what I'm using: Weller WES51 Analog Soldering Station https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BRC2XU/re ... Kzb49G7712
This came highly recommended from a friend. It works exceptionally well for my needs.

If you're looking for something not too expensive check out the 898D+. It's got temp control and comes with 11 iron tips. Got mine on eBay for $42

In many cases such sellers sell repaired RMA goods, or returns from customers.
For example, if you see many soldering irons the same, for 150 bucks, and you see a seller selling the same for 50 bucks, then a alarm bell goes off here..
But anyone is free to decide, just a good tip
