I'll be using it for both through-hole components, probably a few SMT, and then my usual work of building audio cables and patch panels. I purchased a smaller, pencil type, but have yet to use it. (Been too busy with work and the girlfriend to work on my project!)
Is it worth it to get a hot-air gun? I've seen some videos on youtube that utilize one that seems to make some of these tasks nice and easy. Any value to them?
Also, what is the best way to clean a very oxidized tip?
Thanks guys!
