Nice unit :-) I have a temp controlled station at home myself, but here I only have my nice trigger grip goot :-)

I *LOVE* that iron :-)

what do you mean ricey? it IS rice, maae een chiia ;-)

Actually, you can have that display either tip temp, or desired temp. the former being highly useful to see how the temperature changes as you approach a given piece with it. like I said, haven't tried it, and never needed one, just stocking up on my old staff discount before leaving :-)

Ooooo - those wellers are at work, I like em a lot. I like the metcals even more, but GOD they are pricey. Very very very very very nice though.

At home I have a weller knock off, not even mine - and I have a gun style one with the 20w/130w button which I love.
