I got a 10.99 solder station for eBay at the start of the year,
and to be fair, its been perfect!

I may just get another!

Trickbits used to do a decent soldering iron not sure if its still available. I tend to use a portasol gas soldering iron at the moment though and its really good and more than upto the job.
