[sdiy] Soldering iron recommendations

[Mattias Rickardsson]

I got a used OKi (Metcal) PS-900 for $200 off eBay, and have never
been happier. What a solid heat transfer, it's like cutting through
lukewarm butter with a laser sword! Far better than every sub-$200
iron I've ever used - it actually makes their old temperature
regulation methods (and need for a temperature dial to compensate)
feel like a joke. Highly recommended. :-)
