OK I've been looking around and haven't found that "OK that'll work well" soddering irons.

Honestly I want it to do some more stippling jobs on several poly handguns but would like to have one around after that for other fun stuff. Anyway, I want to keep it under $40 or so, have a temp control and integrated stand/holder.

Been to Radio Shack - Fail
Lowes/Home Depot - Fail
Sears - Fail
Ebay - plenty of options, but it's frakken Ebay dammit!
Habor Freight web - nothing in the range that fits the bill
Tool King - Fail - none at all

Any suggestions on a specific brand and or good web site to order one?

Thanks
