25 Watt is good for FETs. 30 Watt works for everything else. Dont solder fets with 30 you may damage em.

I love my 30 watt... :-)

Still to warm in tight areas though.

It says volts, not watts. Which is it? 25 for fets is a lot...... 15w is the safest (besides POS cold heat) with 15w the fets get warm... I cannot imagine with a 25w

Those are great, but I wouldn't suggest someone who misspelled solder to try a butane iron... lol...
