I prefer a straight tip. But either way, those things are invaluable. Years ago, a friend had several Weller stations that were self feeding. I used them a bunch.

12 years on, it's still a struggle not having one.

A straight tip with a closer feed tube would be nice. It's not the best thing for tight spots but, pretty cool for many situations where you need a free hand.

Price is good too... hope it lasts more than one or two soldering sessions!

I dunno.......

Every component has gotten to be either SMD or real small, it doesn't look like it would work with anything except for an old Fender amp...

But it's a fine boy toy, fit for any man cave! :thu:

Interesting. Solder with one hand, chat with babes on the internet with the other.

Just got my tracking number... it's shipping from China. Should be interesting to see how long it takes to arrive.
