For those who never experienced real soldering, being stuck with Weller regulated iron ;-)
I have just received a 125W transformer soldering gun ETP 5-S and tested it and it solders well - lead-free solders melts in 1 second after pressing the button in cold state. I think this can be recommended soldering tool for Ronja. It can be ordered from webshop of GES Electronics Prague on http://www.ges.cz/english/index-a.htm Put "etp 5" into search, the product name is and art nr. 077 131 72. Costs only 16 EUR incl. VAT. This tool allows both SMD and shielding boxes to be soldered quickly. The tip is fine (1.5mm dia.) wire which fits even into the most difficult airwire construction. It's for 230V 50Hz and has 2-pole connector which fits also into German, Swiss and other round-contact sockets. It's specially designed for lead-free solders (which are modern trend and have higher melt temperature). Just be careful with the MOSFET in receiver every soldering gun generates electromagnetic discharge when being switched on and off - see Fundamentals of manufacturing operations for more details.
