Soldering Iron Recommendations

[What's_nitro?]

I have this station- http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a...ATION/-/1.html for the small/medium jobs (up to 10AWG wire with a larger tip) and I use my Craftsman soldering gun for the large jobs. That soldering station is VERY high quality. I was actually surprised how nice it was when I got it. The tips are made of a very tough material (SS?) and show no signs of wear after 8 months of moderate use. It does some with the metal tip cleaner, too.
