Default Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Happiness is: a 75W soldering iron. After many years of making do with my (perfectly good for electronics) Maplin soldering iron in the garage, I recently bought myself a 75W soldering iron for joining wires and heavier duty jobs.

I tried it out yesterday (fitting some LED indicators to my K6). It is the business for joining wires: no more waiting 5 minutes for the iron to warm up, or not having enough heat, this makes nice joints in seconds. I wouldn’t want to use it near electronic components, but what it does it does very well indeed.
