[dorkbotpdx-blabber] Best Value in a Temp Controlled Soldering Iron?

[Scott Dixon]

If you need something quick, Frys carries Hakko, which I think are pretty highly rated for relatively inexpensive irons.  Norvac is a Weller dealer.  If you are willing to wait for mail order, there are several Chinese copies of Hakko which are generally pretty good and less expensive.
