Hello Ken,

For auto soldering I use two different irons, depnding on the application.  I 
have a pencil iron, 25 watts and a pistol iron with two ranges (100 and 140 
watt?) both are Weller.  The gun is at about 30 years old, the iron about 
twenty.  Both still going strong. I can't speak for current Weller quality 
because I have not had a need to buy a new one.

I need/use both types.  The 20 watt is good for fine wires and printed circuit 
board type of uses, the gun is used where I need the higher heat capacity.
