I just ran up on a pretty good deal on some of these nifty solder irons & I grabbed a few extras.
Weller 15w for light duty, not recommended for trying to solder 8ga power wire but great for electronics projects & small stuff around the house. I've been using one for a little while & it's nice, even though they're lower wattage than my normal 30w to 40w irons they still do a good job of heating things up quickly.
Comfortable grip & extra light right where you need it with the 3 white led's mounted on the handle.
Tips are replaceable should you wear it out (no extra tips are in the package but they're a pretty standard item at most any electronics place like radio shack or evilBay)
The tips have a thin flat profile similar to a small screwdriver but if you prefer a pencil tip instead, you can always remove the tip & grind it to any profile you like. Tips are held in place with a set screw on the side unlike some of my older weller solder irons that require special threaded tips.
The next several upcoming led modding projects I'll be doing will be done with these little solder irons, so they're BUGGMAN approved :biggthump

I got some extras just for you guys & gals on the forums & I'll trying to pass along my good fortune.
They may have some sticker residue on the package, but they're all BRAND NEW, never opened.
These normally go for about $15 - $20 but since I got a deal on them, I'm asking $10 +sh (probably about $3 via 1st class mail)
I may put a couple of these on my buggman_mods evilBay account, but due to the fees I'll have to raise the prices closer to retail there... but I wanted to give all my Ranger peeps first crack at them with a better price.
