Folks,
After putting up with shit Radiocrap soldering irons, I finally got a decent Goot PX-201 from Bomir. It was more of a necessity as I ruined a PCB today (servo controller for my laser) (f!$!%ing hell!). $57.xx shipped for it + a replacement tip.

I'm curious to see how well the temperature controller on the pencil works. What sealed the deal for me was the 70W output and the 450 C max (a bit low for recapping...but anything else is out of my budget). It's a bonus that it comes with some sort of temperature adjustment. I'm not sure if it is feedback controlled or not..
Some info:
* High Output Ceramic Heater (70Watts)
* Lead Free Compatible due to large high output heater.
* Accurate control of the tip temperature: There is a temperature control in the handle for easy adjustment.
* Ergonomic Handpiece Grip.
* Light and comfortable to use in the field or on the workbench.
* Wide variety of tips available.
* Heat insulation cap for quick storage for field technicians.
* Power Monitor Lamp to indicate when power is on.
Voltage : 110-130, 220-240V AC 50/60Hz
Power Consumption: 70W
Temperature Setting Range: 250-450 °C
Insulation Resistance (500V DC): Over 100MΩ
Temperature Control System: Sensor Feedback ( ON-OFF Control)
Length: 210mm (w/o cord bushing)
Weight: Approx. 90g (w/o cord)
