[TriEmbed] Opinion and spare junk

[Adam Haile]

Agreed with Dan.
I have a Hakko 936 knock off from SparkFun that I paid about $60 for... and
the 888 is the upgrade for the 936. I love mine (even if it is a knock off)
and would gladly pay the $110+ for a genuine 888 if mine ever dies. And I'm
just the software guy :P
Also, get some tip tinner and a brass sponge (~$20 total). Don't ever use a
wet sponge...
