[Coco] Sodering Iron

[Carlos Camacho]

Two observations when looking for soldering irons.

1) Hakko that everyone loves is $119ish. Back in 2021 Fry's electronics
sold them for $69 on Black Friday. Ouch.

2) Said iron is widely counterfeited. Especially on eBay. YMMV.

3) Avoid any iron that shows a picture of a user (a) holding the hot iron
part (b) sticking it into a PC case. ( if they can't be bothered to get the
picture right, they probably can't get the manufacturing right.

And to actually contribute... Good AND HONEST reviews of inexpensive irons
to learn with...
