Luling, La.
Looking to do the power wire upgrade to my TS500 and to my recently acquired TS Sweet Sixteen but my junker “gun” style soldering iron isn’t going to cut it.

Any recommendations on what to get? I’m assuming something around 60w with a variable setting and changeable tips.
 

It was $53 but no longer available. These units are made under several different names I see.
 
I've used this one for a few years and has worked really well. Heats really quick and doesn't lose heat when working on larger projects. Hakko fx 888D. I wish they had of went with different styling but aside from that it works really wellScreenshot_20200308-221130_Amazon Shopping.jpg
