Tip recovery matters more than peak temperature. A joint draws heat out of the tip the moment it touches, and an iron that cannot replace it fast enough sits at temperature between joints and drops below it during them, which is what produces a dry joint. A dry joint also looks finished, which is why it is found later rather than at the bench.
Wattage is the practical measure of that recovery. The range runs 25W for electronics and light wiring through 40W to 100W on the gun, and a joint onto a large terminal or a chassis takes far more than the same joint on a board. Wattage is stated per iron rather than being inferred from the tip size or the body length.
A station separates the iron from its control, holding a set temperature rather than running at whatever the element reaches. That matters where the same temperature is wanted joint after joint rather than being judged by how the solder behaves. Set temperature also protects a component that would be damaged by a hotter tip.
A soldering gun heats only while the trigger is held, which suits occasional work where an iron would be left on. A 10.8V cordless iron works where there is no socket. Tips and lead free flux cored solder are consumable. Send the joint to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. Solder is bought by the reel rather than with the iron, since it is consumed continuously.
