Vigo:
You mean besides tinning 30 wires simultaneously? Eh I would probably find a use for it melting lead up. I've poured lead in stuff to weigh it down, where I live there are still people who melt down metal l to make their own fishing lures and bullets and stuff. They probably use lead and are slowly killing themselves. :dunno

jennifer:
A observation of Jenns was few people wash there hands (or do it correctly) after using the bathroom, Carry this over to people who work with boards, and consequently lead and other toxic substances, Yes, Vigo your most likely are correct, They are ingesting the stuff... As for Jims solder pot, SCORE! :cheers:

My undying respect and admiration for anyone that comes up with a use for it.

if it gets hot enough, a guy could pre-tin wires with it. really only useful if you had a whole pile of wires you need to pre-tin.

maybe use it to melt wax and make your own candles?

but still, if you find a use for it, it will come in super hady when you do.

knave:
While we are talking about electronics workbench tools...

Where is the best place to order tips for a radio shack 40W iron? (I've looked several times and I just don't know what is competitive.)

lilshawn:
is radioshack even around anymore??? I know they've all but closed up shop in canada.

It may be beneficial to simply purchase a new iron for what it's worth. I'd recommend a name brand like weller or Hakko. the Weller WM120 is probably pretty close your ratshack iron and can be had for under 50 bucks.
