What soldering iron should I get?

[Bengerm77]

So my old Radio Shack soldering iron became embarrassing, so I cut the cord. Now I need a new soldering iron, what should I get? Also, I don't want to spend very much money.

The orange Weller station is good

I have no complaints with mine.

I like my Hakko: http://www.amazon.com/Hakko-FX888D-23BY ... er+station

I had the Weller above, but the Hakko is much better for me. It heats up super quick and just feels like it's made much better

Weller is good, I have a Hakko 936 that has been great.

You should get the Hakko linked. It's near the best one on the market.

I've been using a Weller Wes51 for 8 years. Lots of pros use it.

I've been very happy with it. Totally worth $100 or whatever I paid.

Very happy with my Hakko FX888D-23BY. I need to spend a bit more time with the manual to understand the digital temp setup, but it has been working extremely well for working on PCBs, Pots, amp mods, etc.

It's running $91 right now on Amazon. Side note: I ordered around 9am on a Saturday and received it that night - paid something like $5 extra for same-day using my Prime account.
