    Sure, a Weller station will probably last a lifetime even with serious usage, but I do maybe…. 20 total solder joint per year, so I couldn’t justify the price.

    I do agree that it’s better at what it’s supposed to do though

      Not quite a Weller station, but also will last a lifetime ;)

      Edit: I’m aware that USB irons are good and I’m just shit at using them

        I really appreciate that you took the time to take a photo to show us your iron. It’s nice to get the more personal touch as I keep forgetting we are real people talking together.

        It looks like an old clenodium. I’m sure it has seen its fair share of work. Thanks for sharing!
