And don't forget a very fine tip for the iron... Or better yet, save up for
a reflow station! I saw an ad in Nuts'n'Volts for one that was only
$1200... But first I think I'll get a nice Weller to replace my peice of
crap Radio Shack 15/30W switchable iron. I have my eye on one of those
<$100 variable power Wellers, I don't remember which model but there are
two of them. I think one sells for $99 and the other for around $50 or so.
And some of the desoldering braids would be nice, too. Those desoldering
bulbs are HORRIBLE. Those big vacuum ones are nice, and even more so for
the motorized vacuum pump models.
