If you are really commited to this hobby, a good soldering station is essential. Not only for the big jobs, but for the smaller jobs as well. I use a Metcal MX500. It is supposed to be a good station. I know that I like it. Any Hakko is also going to be a really good station.

If you are on a tight budget, check out circuitspecialists.com

I got my first station from them and it was better than expected.

I don't know why I'm rambling about this, but just thought I'd throw it out there. Many really do discount the value of a good soldering station and go for the cheapo Radio Shack jobs (no offense) and then wonder why they destroy so much of what they are working on.

Oh, BTW, the Wellers are nice as well. I just prefer the feel of the wand that comes with the Hakkos and Metcals.
