Hi all, just for very basic electronic components soldering. I bought one from Sears. And the tip broke!! Now, I need to buy a new one. Any suggestion? Or, cheap but solid solder station?
For most basic electronics work, I use a 40W iron I purchased from my local electronics store. It's made by ECG but is the same as many made in China irons I've seen.
Buy a brand name like Weller and you are probably fine. Just never buy the bottom of the line, always from the middle.
