I'm looking to buy a good soldering iron preferably with a fine needle tip that can last long. Power - 25W-35 W
I checked online and there are two types of irons available - Ceramic heater and coil heater type.
I use this one from Soldron (A popular brand in India) but the tips don't last longer esp. if you keep the iron on for longer times. The entire soldering bit starts to give off flakes (some kind of coating comes off).
The only plus point is that the tips are easy to replace and not very expensive.
I found another one from Stanley the tip is tightened using a screw on the side. Probably uses a different heating element too as compared to the above one.
Please suggest good soldering irons to buy (brand, models, etc) which can last longer with power rating of 25W to 35 W. Also, which heating element is better? Coil type or ceramic type?
