I'd like to be able to pick one up locally (Toronto, Ontario) for less than $20CAD. Any help?

Strange, I can get it to work in both IE and Opera.

I usually order mine from electronics stores online. Most local places keep generic radio-shack type garbage.

Picture worked fine for me, you can buy those types of tips at radio shack for the 15 watts and may fit certain 25 watt soldering irons, OR you can just buy a regular tip and grand it down with a dremel tool to the tip you need.

What is it your working on btw? I just did a soldering job on a circuit board and the 15 watt with that tip worked great for the job I did, can be had at RS for $8 and tips are $1.50

..does Ungar still make high quality low watt work station irons?

This is a cheap one that I've been looking at...I might pick up a nicer one, but who knows.

General PCB stuff. I checked Radio Shack before and they only had the typical irons, and besides, Radio Shack doesn't exist in Canada anymore.

This is what I DON'T want, btw:

do not want

This is exactly what I want, but unfortunately Amazon doesn't ship to Canada. (it's the same iron as the one in the pic in OP)

Hmm, I was about to say check amazon.ca, but well, selection seems to suck.

Good luck and bump for ya.

I know you want something cheaper than this... but I have had mine for years and it works great. It is a nice soldering station, yet still cheap.

Weller WLC100 - $40.95

You can get a similar Iron alone: $17.95

This is the life long struggle of buying ****** tools numerous times in your life... or buying a good tool once. I think we all struggle with this decision.

Active surplus. They are still around, just moved upstairs in the same location. Queen and Beverley.

no need to get fancy...I'll buy and ship it to you if you want. I did the same for Brigden once when he wanted this ugly clown shirt from Macy's. (Sorry brig if you're still around....that was an UGLY shirt!)

I too would offer to buy it for you and reship -- but I am in Texas. I am sure other ATOTers are much closer to the Canada.
