I will be getting this solder station this weekend, I think. They are on Ebay for less than $80, and my dad has agreed to pay for half (since he would also have his uses for it). I've been using a Weller 120watt gun, but the tip is too small to effectively transfer the heat. Since I'll be soldering up 20 A123 cells (yes, I have two Dewalt packs on their way to me), I need to be able to solder the packs together without overheating the cells.

But I want to make sure that this iron will be able to solder up these packs like I want to (the soldering gun won't cut it).
