I bought a func recently because they were awesome back in the late 90s early 00s and it fucking sucks. It was like 45 dollars and the surface wore off in like 3 months. You guys have recommendations for a non cloth or metal option, preferably oversized like the one you've shown there Mist.
Also, I'm not sure where else to ask this but I need a good soldering iron. I'm about to tackle a custom wiring harness for my race car and want to get the best I can get for 45 bucks tops. I picked one up from Fry's yesterday for 43.00 but after looking online afterwards I think I can do much better. Would prefer to buy from Amazon.
