Homebrew PCBs

Use a Lamp Dimmer or a small autotransformer to turn down the power to your Iron.  They will last along time and you can adjust the heat. Works great!!!

  I kept going through 30watt irons, tips and elements.  Then I got a 
  15watt iron.  Lasts alot longer.  Of course I have a problem of 
  forgetting to unplug them.  Left one on for days once.  Didn't work 
  the next time I went to use it.
