Which soldering iron/station to buy?

[Bryan]

I have the WESDS51 Weller and it is a excellent iron, handle is great and your hand doesn't get sore from continuous soldering, the cord is also excellent and doesn't tangle or loop up like other irons I have used. Iron warms up is seconds and maintains temperature. A big advantage with the Weller,10 years from now parts will still be available. Tips are relatively cheap and can be found easily.
