Are you soldering cables the size of your arm to trash cans?
That thing would quickly burn up a lot of electronics. You need a soldering iron (preferably adjustable), not a 100watt gun. |

dont buy a soldering gun, they are not designed for fine work, this is what you want as a good affordable iron...

I' am using this one for years now and it's really easy to get parts for.
