Soldering Iron?

[soupbone]

I've got a Velleman Soldering Iron,with the one knob temperature control.I try to keep it to where it starts to melt the solder,and turn it up barely.I carry a toolbox with my tools,strings,pics etc.I can't really take my Velleman with me,so what would be a descent soldering iron with a set temperature?A 30 watt iron maybe?

Cool!Does Weller make a 25 watt iron?

Yep...I used this iron for about 10 years. Thousands of quality solder joints.
