burnt out solder iron heaters...

[eccerr0r]

Well, it happened, my temp controlled solder iron heater burned out.
How often does stuff like this happen?

My non-temp-controlled iron is still fine... why can't this one break and not my temp controlled one...

Oh well.

Re: burnt out solder iron heaters...

I don't know how often they burn out, I only have a non-temp controlled iron, had it for about 5 or 6 years now, it's been good so far!

Though I bet it has something to do with the quality and design.
