/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>Wait, like the aluminium one?
I should be more specific, It's pic related. You can see the sleeve which needs to be unscrewed and screwed back when replacing the tips.
>The cable doesn't seem to rotate for me, at least not significantly. It might still be a vector for wear though. The tip does rotate somewhat freely on the other hand, but to apply enough torque to do so when soldering you'd be really riding on the thing.
Yeah, I thought the same, you probably need to handle it really careless to break it, and you really shouldn't push your iron hard into the solder point, but I wanted to play it safe and get the most rigid and solid looking one, maybe not the most ergonomic (I still remember my first shitty iron where the power cable was only attached to the handle by the 2 shitty solder joints of the wires).
If everything is well then I will be happy to get myself the other handles, the thinner one you got certainly look easier to handle.
