I've been to 3 stores here in canada and no one carries the Weller guns. I can get a nice Mastercraft gun for about $80 Cdn but that really is getting kinda pricey just to solder a couple of banana plugs. It's not like i do this for a living or ever will do much soldering again once these plugs are finished.
Not one of my neighbors is a damn electrician though...
I do still wonder if the solder would take any better using the gun instead of the wand. Do you find with 12ga wire and soldering that the gun vs. the wand is any easier (i.e. melts easier)?
Do you think you could do a comparison for me, i'm curious to know. Keep in mind i'm also using a lead free solder which melts about 30C higher than lead stuff.
