Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I've never soldered in my life but I'm committed to learning for multiple projects from LED strip lighting for floating shelves, to reworking and upgrading HiFi equipment.
I'd like any recommendations for a soldering gun or station. I've looked at dozens and at this point I have no idea what to purchase. I'd like to keep the total cost under $150 if possible. At this point I'm looking at one of the t12 clones ShineNow, Bakon, Ksger or Quicko only because those tips seem to be highly liked across the soldering crowd. I'm open to any suggestions. (Edit) I just saw that 14 page thread on soldering stations. I haven't been able to find one of the Bakon950D's with the T-12 tips, only the T-13. If anyone has had luck with one of the other Chinese stations I would appreciate the feedback. I would still like any suggestions that may shorten the learning curve.
I've acquired about 30ft of led strip lighting for practice so any suggestions for solder and/or any tips or tricks that might help me out early would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!
