Title: Need some help finding soldering equipment/advice
Post by: uJalled on Wed, 13 January 2016, 17:50:19

Hi guys, I'm sorry to make another post about this, but can someone point me in the direction of a good soldering thread? I need to find a good iron that I can use once, (on a budget), what setting/wattage I need to use, and a desoldering iron as well to solder switches only. I know about Kester solder, but I don't seem to see any threads recommending budget soldering irons. (Not Hakko)

I know that geekhackers sells a fairly budget soldering iron.
