Soldering Iron....

Depends on what you are doing. "The regular" old Weller gun was fine for most wiring, but not for no12 or bigger. For that you want "the big" Weller

The old old WD-250, the 550 or 650 if you can find them

Here's one for 28 bux

The 8XXX (8200?) are the smaller ones

I've bought several old "irons" at garage sales and CL or even a couple at pawn shops.

On those, not so much wattage as size of the tip.

This thing will solder any wire you are likely to run across 'cept battery cables, you use a torch for those

Look at the size of the tip on this ol' thang. That might be a "little much" LOL (I've got one a LOT bigger than that one)
