Soldering - Coleman Cold Heat

[MRE]

I suppose I could see the joys of a good quality solder station (especially the much larger tip selections, and quick heat/cool cycles)..

So the real point here is:

There are GOOD quality cheap irons, and there are cheap quality cheap irons! heh..

"RadSnack" huh, I always called 'em "RatShack" HeHeHe

my all time favorite story:

about 1995 they went through a short period of trying to phase out small parts, and so they hid everything, and stopped ordering a lot of stuff.. untill they realized that was a bad idea. In the meantime they were trying to push every high dollar item on the shelves.

me - walks into a ratshack, look around for the small components section, and cant find it because it is all hidden behind those sliding shelves they like to use..  I mumble something about how useless the place can be..

salesnoob - "Hey bro, can I help you with something?"

me - "Yeah.. Im looking for Infrared LEDs.. whered you hide them this time?!"

salesnoob - "uhh.. L e... D..  umm.."

me - "You dont know what an LED is?!"

me - "ya know.. its those little red lights.. I need an infrared one..  you cant see it.. its clear.. mumble mumble.."

salesnoob - "uhh.. I dont think we have those.. . anymore.. "

me - "useless.. mumble mumble..  FINE! THANKS! mumble"

salesnoob - "Hey! you interested in a cell phone?"

me - "Why the F^*$ would I come in here for a 30 cent part and walk out with a cell phone?!"

That was my first official curse in public by the way.

[Mr modnaR]

LMAO!!!  ;D

[docbrown]

That's why they should be called "CellPhone Shack" too. ;D

[MRE]

Yeah.. somehow I doubt they would know a "radio" if it hit them in the face.

CellphoneShack IS much more fitting.
