Re: [DIY] Soldering iron

 

Weller offers a wide range of irons and stations.  One of the advantages with a Weller iron and soldering station is that you can have a variety of interchangeable tips in a broad range of shapes and temperatures.  An adequate Weller iron and station can be found for around 120.00 and then you can add the various tips as you need them.  Weller stations are also supplied with adjustable temperature controls which is very handy when being used across a wide selection of applications.  There are also any number of other makes and price ranges on the market, but over the years I have found Weller to be the top of the line.

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.
