Here I use a Weller SP40 (40 watt) pencil iron for 99% of my work. Its got a 1/4" flat chisel tip and transfers heat well to the big old lugs. And the body doesn't get hot like some of the cheapo pencils.

I also have one of those Weller 100/140 guns but I rarely pull it out for anything. No solder sucker here. I've never been co-ordinated enough to make comfortable use of one Icon_sad
