Looking Hand Soldering Tool for Comp,Monitor,TV,Speakers repair

I get to know from past 6 months of looking home electronics,that most of them failed b/c of solder fault. I never done soldering by hand,although done SMT Inspection jobs,now I know importance of soldering quality in electronics. I need to start hand soldering to get repair all my household electronics,any idea where and which machine I will purchase for this purpose? Thanks

Thaqalain: If you have questions like this.... try using the google search engine.... type in "weller soldering iron" and click search. In less than a few seconds you will have hundreds or thousands of good hits regarding the places you can purchase a "hand soldering tool", otherwise known as a soldering iron. A small 25 watt, no frills iron will do the job for handyman, do it yourself, home soldering. As you tackle more elaborate soldering tasks then maybe a temperature controlled soldering station might be of interest, but definately overkill for most do-it-yourself home repair projects. electricitym

Thaqalain-

As Electricitym suggested, you can research soldering iron or soldering tool on the web. Some companies that sell such supplies may have tutorial information at their web sites.

A couple of points you should consider:

  1. Take care that you do NOT use acid-core solder or acid flux. It is corrosive and will ruin electronic equipment.

  1. There is a trend away from using solder containing lead because of its poisonous effects on the environment. There is another reason not to use it on modern electronic circuits with surface-mount components. Lead amalgamates with silver in these components, causing them to become an open circuit.

During your research, look for information on lead-free solder.
