Nitrox posted:Can anyone recommend me a good soldering iron? I would like to get a good cheap one if there is such thing. Weller makes quality inexpensive irons. It is worth spending more that $50 on one though. Another cheap option -- and particularly good for auto applications -- is a cordless butane powered iron. I've used one before at my old job, but I don't recall the brand. Perhaps someone could recommend one since I am currently in the market for a new iron to replace a 10 year old broken (my fault) Weller station.

velocross posted:Harbor freight sells this: http://www.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html Late to the party on this but... We have one of these at work and have done lots of large gauge crimping with it. It's fine except the dies are all way too small for their marked AWG -- even the largest (00 AWG) was too small for 2 AWG. I have re-machined them to have the appropriate cross section for a wire + crimp. More effort than most people would want to put in. I bought this tool back in 2010 and they may have addressed this by now. Judging by the photos, that's a no.
