If you are going to do electronics soldering a lot, I would personally recommend to stump up for one of the RF soldering systems (Thermaltronics or Metcal) as absolutely soon as you can possibly afford them.

The difference to your soldering is night and day. I cry for all the time I wasted soldering before I got a Metcal system.

Given that he is recommending Wellers that are in the same price range there is no reason not to step up to the RF systems if you can.



I got an old metcal station from work that was destined for the recycling and it is amazing. I'll never use any other kind.


100% agree with this. Metcal is life changing.
