Members therhodeo Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 Is the WES51 the good model everyone recommends? Thats the one I said I wanted. Any thing else I should ask for to go with it? Tips, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Speeddemon Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 Instead of using a sponge to clean the solder tip, use that gold curly stuff. Cleans your tip WAY better and doesn't require frequent hydration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Speeddemon Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm talking about this: Apparently at Designnotes.com: http://www.designnotes.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=soa-b I bought mine in a local electronic parts-store. But I thought it would be cheaper than $11 in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you if I get it and a pedaltrain my board will be 100% neater. Plus I can change all my 3 way switches that only work half the time.

Members LavaMan Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 It's the bomb. Very fast, even heat. I'm diggin' it now. Although the barrel grip is a little warmer to the touch then the WES51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 6.4 Billion Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 I also recommend the WES51. I use the Hakko version of the curly metal cleaner along with a regular damp sponge. I'd pick up a conical shaped tip; for me it's a lot easier to work with than the screwdriver shaped one that comes with the iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
