Why is no one paying attention to my EDSYN recommendation?

Because I am using my Weller TCP for over 30 years now and I am still
content with it. Still can buy new tips too.

The Edsyn is fine. So is the American Beauty. Metcal also makes some
good ones.

I like the Weller because that's what I have been using for years.

The important things are that it has a variety of tip sizes, enough power,
temperature control, and that you can get parts quickly when you need
them. With the temperature control, you don't need to be twiddling the
power up and down on a variac for different work; if you solder a large
thing that sinks more heat, the iron throws more heat into it. Pretty
much all the manufacturers have figured out how to make that work properly
now.
