I don't want to start a holy war, but the JBC system with integrated cartridge tips is at least comparable to Metcal for high thermal mass joints and (IMO) superior for very fine SMD work. The JBC system has the advantage of allowing one-handed tip changes while the tip is still hot. It's also very affordable to get in the door, thanks to the proliferation of cheap Chinese stations that are fully compatible with JBC tips. I do agree that the traditional style of iron with a separate heater cartridge and tip is obsolete. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006568050453.html |
