I've been using a cheap radio shack 35w iron for years.

Price


If you are just learning low power voltage as a trade or its part of your job currently this is an awesome buy for the money.


I always knew it was cheap, but couldn't justify the cost of a quality one.


Such irons can usually be had for as little as $10.


I just assembled a $3000 tube amplifier and speaker kit.

Packaging/appearance


The packaging was insufficient, and the item delivered was misaligned.


I thing it should had been package better.


For the money i spent a extra tip or better packing from the factory would be nice.

Competitiveness


More specifically, the w60p3 allows you to choose 600f, 700f, or 800f tips.


I'll do a quick comparison for those who may not be familiar with how different types of 120v portable soldering irons work.


I had put off spending the money for a new weller and had purchased some cheap knock-offs.
