I think I'll grab it. Thanks for the link. --- End quote --- I use this one: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/21-7945 If you watch it will go one sale under 20 bucks...

I use 15 watts to work on PSP mods mostly SMD leds. I would definitely go with the Weller its top of the line brand, i don't think i can trust that "TENMA" never heard of it. And the couple feedback on it are pretty bad. |

Put the next coat of blue on today. No problems and it looks great. Perfectly smooth coat with the spray gun. Next up is adding the white dots onto the blue. I'm going to test out using a toothbrush to see how that works. |

Tenma is okay. Occasional use consumer level quality. If you do a lot of soldering get a Weller but Tenma will get it done if you aren't doing it all the time. |

For 40 bucks, I'd pick up that Weller and play safe... |
