    Given your interests, I'd imagine you are going to be soldering for life? Is there a soldering iron for life? Buy it!

    Or, at least get the best you can. Don't cheap out on tools.

    Yeah. Ill see if I can get a replacement from the company for free, but once I get some money, ill get a nice soldering iron. Don't have any money right now, spent it all on my car audio system. Hopefully will have a job this summer though, then invest in a quality soldering iron.

    TS100 with silicon cable and battery bank is nice. Especially for work on a car. For bench use can't go wrong with used pro Weller. I'd pass on the consumer Wellers and similar.

    Yeah before this cheap one I had a consumer Weller, wasn't great, took like 10x longer to heat up than the Chinese one I have now.

    Used Pro Weller or a TS100 is a good option..
