[Elecraft] : Soldering station recommendation in preparation forbuilding a K1

[Edward R Cole]

I have the genuine HAKKO FX-951 (ESD safe) solder station which is 
essential for good soldering.  It does cost double the other guys but 
the "sleep" mode is very nice as tip temp is dropped to 450F when 
solder iron is parked in its holder.  It returns to 670F (temp fully 
adjustable) a few seconds after I take the iron out of the 
holder.  This feature really extends life of the tips.  Having a 
professional station really makes my little business of building kits 
much better/easier.
