Asking for a friend (actually) - what's the best soldering iron kit for a beginner these days?
-
-
@starsandrobots If you can stretch to $40 some low end Wellers are avail. At $20 you are in rando aliexpress territory. -
@299792456nelson have personal experience with any of those Weller models?
-
@starsandrobots yeah I've used the wlc100. It's adjustable but not temp controlled. Uses weller tips so parts easily avail -
@starsandrobots Tough call between that and a rando $20 stick to use while saving up for a ~ $100 Hako temp controlled iron -
@starsandrobots depends if the new user is likely to want to upgrade soon or be happy with basic for a long time.

@starsandrobots Soldering iron or soldering kit? If iron, WLC100 is ~$40, but worth it in terms of satisfaction of use.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
