The Xytronics are much lighter and easier to maneuver. http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?t=176189 Now I'll look for a loose handle... |

But, after using a Weller thin pencil all others are like holding baseball bats. I like this 80 watt Weller pen..... http://www.venso.se/images/weller/lo...p80set_600.jpg g |
