    Let me second this. A friend loaned me his unit. I wanted to solder
    pin-backs (using low-temperature solder) with it. The pins are too
    large to get hot enough to re-melt the solder, after I had melted it
    onto the pinback (to hold it in place). It was even very difficult
    getting the solder to melt onto the pinback in the first place, with
    this type of unit. 

All the best,
Judy Bjorkman
