soldering irons 

we bought a JBC station this week because we need an iron with enough power to solder big copper planes.

it arrived today and oh boi, this is something else. soldered some chonky stamped metal terminals as if they were smol pins.
also we got a tip that is formed like a tiny spoon and this works soooo well.

oh and i was kinda unhappy with the ChipQuick solder we have rn and... it's just good actually? i don't have any issues soldering with it anymore now.

anyways, i want to build a controller for the knockoff JBC handles more than ever now, kinda like the OtterIron Pro, but a bit more polished, maybe with a station base and just for everyday use.
