I found 20w soldering irons at the dollar store. Dollarland I think it's called, but most dollar stores have them. I was expecting it to be a real piece of crap, but it works very well. Tip get a couple you can grind or file the tip down to the size of a ball point pen, perfect for PCB's. Grind another one down for a plastic cutting tip. For a buck what the @%$# !
