lovekraft Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Got rave reviews at the DIY Stomp Box forum:I would go so far as to say this iron is like a fine pair of racing skis where as the RS irons are like 2x4s strapped to your feet with rope. The difference is just that big. Here's the thread:Soldering Irons Mine's on order, I'll let you know when it gets here. When Peter Snowberg, Brian Tremblay and Doug Hammond all recommend something, I take it as Gospel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
