If you are considering the Weller D-550 I've heard that the older model is better. The newer ones (240W) use setscrews to fasten the tip and don't hold tight as the large nut used on the earlier models. Have used the D-550 (325W) to remove the braid and solder to the chassis when needed. Got mine from ebay for about $15+shpg.
