A better soldering iron
(1/1)
Vaati:
I've done some searching for a better soldering iron than the one I've been using for the past 3 years, a WP25. A few days ago I watched a video on drag soldering, and realized that having a 30 year old iron (without even knowing the necessity of flux I might add) might not be ideal for such a method.
So far, it looks like I ought to go with the Atten 937B or the 938D -- does anyone have either of these irons? If so, please write a review/post a teardown. ;D
Thanks.

Atten as a brand is very mix quality at best, doesn't work at worst. If you are going to buy a Chinese branded station, Aoyue is a better bet.
A best bang for buck right now is the Hakko FX 888 or the Weller WES51.

Ditto on the Hakko FX 888...its the best bang for your buck.....best $95 i ever spent.............
CoolBeer:
I agree on the fx-888, it's a whole nother world from my previous ebay iron.
And if you look at it as an expensive tool, it will definitly last you a long time, so per year it's nothing at all :)
