[DIY] Soldering iron

 

I want to get a soldering iron but am very confused.  They range in wattage, temp etc.  There are lead free solders and silver solders etc.  I need to know if the average do it yourselfer that needs it for around the house and jewelry making can get a cheaper one or do you have to get on  in hundred dollar range.  I want to use lead free solder on some small electrical repairs and soldering jewelry but I have heard that some won't melt the solder enough to do jewelry. I have seen different ones at Ho-De, Lowes and Radio Shack but have no idea what to get.  They range in price from a few dollars to about $20 and then around $50 to over $100.  What is the difference?  Thanks for any advise.
