A soldering "station?" Sounds complicated--and exclusive. But it's not. It's just a Soldering Iron with a built-in thermometer and a big exterior power supply to keep it at a continual, hot-but-not-too-hot disease as it melts solder on demand. And now they are accessible for under 50. In distinction, a simple soldering iron uses a low endless power to body up a standby of heat in a comparatively bulky tip, which can start out too hot but hastily lose disease and usefulness (but still eventually damage apparatuses as you struggle) if original contact to the task at hand isn't perfect or the meeting is better than usual.
