| Is this a good soldering iron for pinball/arcade use? Only 40 watts... |

It's only 40 watts and fairly inexpensive, but looks much easier to use than a bulky gun....is this good enough for soldering wires arcade related things?? http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=TOOL&pid=00954083000 |

Should be fine. I prefer these 'pen' style over the 'gun' anyway. I think the 'gun' is overkill for basic wiring. |
| quarterback:
Oh, a couple other things: I personally wouldn't spend $18 on one. Harbor Freight has them for less and so does RadioShack and most Dollar Stores/Big Lots Here's one at RS for ~$8 (and they have others as well) You'll probably want a smaller tip than what appears to be in the Sears photo. I guess that's a YMMV statement, but I've found it to be true for me. |

Cool, thanks for the advice, i think i'll go with that Radio Shack one....thanks again! |
