Me. Metalworking was initially just meant to make that missing mechanical part that is always missing from any electronics project.


I have a Weller EC soldering station and have had something similar on all my workplaces. No problems whatsoever. Tips last for years even though I tend to forget to turn off the station for a long time. The soldering station I have at home is quite old, 20 plus but have worked with newer stuff with fancier heating elements designed to survive the higher heat needed for leadless tin, but found no difference in use
