He is right though with a shitty solder iron its just not fun.

My 50Euro hardware store solder iron was garbage. Bought one of these pencil type solders for 100 Euro years later and that small thing was 10x better than the heavey shitty hardware store solder iron.

I'm sure a good station makes it even nicer but if your normal iron doesn't get hot fast and doesn't keep it properly hot, you can play lots of guessing games why your stuff doesn't do what that person on youtube is showing you how it should work
