Hi!
I'm getting back into electronics, and desperately need new soldering tools - I have a big, chunky, cheap iron with horrendous damage.
I am interested in soldering connectors and perhaps 0.1" stripboard, but also PCBs - I have ordered a couple from this site. Though I will not move on to SMD parts straight away, I *do* have plans to do SMD soldering in the near future.
I have done soldering before, but this time I'd like to get it right. If anyone could recommend a soldering tool (soldering iron, I suppose) which would meet my needs, it would be greatly appreciated. An added bonus would be a recommendation for solder flux / solder / any other tools I might need!
Most kind ... thanks !
