I just purchased an inexpensive solder pot for my workshop. Several of my products, like replacement ribbon cables and my new Clone Hero Conversion, require the tinning of LOTS of 28 gauge flat ribbon cables.
This task is slow and difficult using just a soldering iron. Using the solder pot makes the process 10 times faster and at least 5 times better! These small wires are tinned almost instantly, and just about perfect.
If you’ve got lots of wire tinning to do, I recommend this solution!!
