Soldering gun recommendations???
Just as the title suggests... with Christmas around the corner, family is asking what I want, and frankly I want a really good soldering gun for building pedals. The problem is... I'm exactly sure what the hell I need and what I don't just yet...
I hail from the automotive repair world (diag, mainly), so I'm not unfamiliar with soldering and desoldering, but what I use is very... ahem... unga-bunga... To be blunt, I'm looking to build pedals--not cook them.
I've hunted via Google, Amazon, and the various likes, and I'm hoping to avoid cheap Chinese while having available parts for service/repair (good customer service/support is a bonus too), so what are y'all using? What should I avoid? TIA, everyone.
Edit: Thank you all for the responses so far!!! I'll definitely be checking these all out on Google! I've seen Hakko referred to quite a bit, so I may lean that way, but will definitely be adding bronze wool and wet sponges to the list! Anything else to consider?
