First of all, the packaging and instructions don't say whether this needs to be plugged in or rechargeable??? I kind of assumed it was cordless, but not sure yet.
[edit]OK, it must have it's wallwart cable plugged into it. Not cordless.
I needed a new iron, and took a chance on this $30 iron. It's got a nice plastic handle which lays flat in all positions, so the iron can never burn your table. No need for a stand.
And it's got an LED to light up your project.
Tonight, I have to change some pots in a tele, and my old iron always gave me too many headaches....probably a worn out tip, but I figured it's time for a new one anyway.
Common knowledge would tell me to buy a Weller soldering station for substantial money, but it's still bulky and involves cables. I rolled the dice on this Weller WPS18MP.
Stay tuned for a yay or nay review. I sure hope I don't have to return this.
