Re: SMD Soldering
The FX-888 is a tried and true iron. I like my Weller WESD-51. As long as you have something with good heat capacity and a temperature control. Good heat capacity is good for getting to packages with pads on then. Steer clear of ones that you plug in and change the tip for different temperatures. Those are pretty garbage.
