Gun or Iron for Soldering?

[Sunbane]

The trick is to not hold everything all at once. Use clamps and tape to hold stuff in place and/or out of the way. You'd need at least four arms otherwise.

I hold the solder in my teeth. That frees up my hands.

I do that as well

You guys are wusses, I actually eat solder...while it's nice and hot. Makes for good seasoning blends too on salads, pasta, etc.

When I don't have to hold the iron I stick the hot end in my pee hole to keep it from falling on the floor.

Funniest, and nastiest thing I've heard all day! :ROTF:

I have this 30 year old clunker, its in a pistol shape, and its about 8 pounds.

maybe I need to get a newer & smaller iron

+1 for the iron

Whats all this soldering crap I hear? It can't possibly be as good as electrical tape.

I have a way-overpowered Weller gun type. I've had it for years, and it has two settings, multipel tips, and a nice light.
