[TowerTalk] Slobering Irons

[Robert Harmon]

Bryan,

You missed the point completely.  
I also object to your calling the Weller "crap".    Really uncalled for.   No need to call anything crap, that is the issue.   
We use Weller PS1100C Super Pro's out on the jobs for portable use.   They are excellent butane portable soldering irons
that take a lot of abuse.  When up on a tower soldering connectors they are great.  We have used quite a few other 
butane soldering irons but the Weller holds up the best.  
Depending on the connector soldering job, some type/brands are better suited to the task.
But none of them deserve to be called crap.   

I also find your drawing a comparison with sexual innuendos offensive.
