[ARC5] OT A BIT....What Do You Solder With?

[Scott Robinson]

Metcal rules!!

The usual Metcal system is 60 Watts but since the heat is generated at 
the surface of the tip by RF induction, it's all where it's needed and 
does an amazing job.

The shaft of the iron is about 3/16 " diameter, and with the special 
long reach handle, you can get in between closely spaced bandswitch 
wafers that you'd never think you can reach.

Regards,

Scott
