I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

    Thank you so much!

    I have a Weller WLC 40w, I did a good bit of reading before I bought it but I might have missed the mark. I got a brass sponge that I stuck in an old metal canister, and some of those crappy plastic unpowered vacuum suckers off Amazon.

    I did buy my solder on Amazon, I wonder if that’s been an issue. It’s this: Kester 24-6337-0010 44 Rosin Core Solder 63/37, and I don’t use flux with it.

    The solder you have, is it regulated because of lead content? I can go buy a hunk of pure lead without question so it’s weird to me if that’s the case.
