I just got one of these for a backup iron and it's much nicer than I expected... I may even try it as my primary iron! I paid $16 (DOH!) and now it's only $14. Includes extra tips, solder, and a stand. (I paid $4 each just for several of these cheapie stands recently for teaching my classes!) Digital temp setting, the iron heats up very quickly and works well. I'm not sure how long the tips last, so that could be a factor to watch out for. But tips are cheap. It comes in a lovely magnetic-flap box with a sleeve. Perhaps not the most useful thing, but it certainly adds a touch of class and it could make a nice gift for someone. Wouldn't the wifey be surprised to get one for Christmas! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094ZP1XBT
