I have used a variety of soldering tools over the years but now use a Weller WTCPL soldering station or a Hakko 926 adjustable, 400-900 degree soldering station, both have changeable tip sizes,the Weller has tips for different temps. For outside work I use an old Wen model 199 soldering gun I've had since the 60's.
The Cadillac of soldering stations is the Metcal, but bring your money!
