Hey, where did you get my soldering iron??? [Linked Image]

Seriously, mine is pretty similar, only it has a black rubber cord and a Europan plug. Bought it for close to nothing at a flea market (something like 50 cents IIRC). 85W... nice beast! Soldering #16 wire works like a charm.

And that Gem tap to the right... I know a guy who plugged something like that into two 3 way extension cords (#18 SPT-I) and left i on the carpet in his bed room... actually never caught fire or killed anyone...
