I have a 100 Watt iron and a 200 Watt iron, one came from a garage sale the other from a car swap meet, one is an ESICO and the other is a Solder Master but a Canadian or American Beauty will work as well if it's the right wattage. I use the 100 Watt one all the time for soldering or unsoldering things from a chassis and for soldering connections in house wire. It's almost always cheaper getting an old second hand iron and they are usually American or Canadian made, not Chinese, so they last.
Regards
Arran
