Be aware to keep away of soldering irons that fix their tips with a screw. They will be stuck! Best is the system with a sleeve that has to be fixed near the relatively cool end at the handle, like Weller does. The tip hasn't to be earthed directly (short circuit danger!), but via an 1M Ohm resistor. This to minimalize ESD problems. Test this with an multi meter. Look at the cost of the tip. An Iron plated tip is the best guarantee for long life. An other point of attention is the swam for cleaning If that is mounted on top of the transformer, it is drying out very quickly. By the way, best is to use distilled or demineralized water, like one uses for steam irons. eric
