I wound up with 3 of them, 2 500's & a 350. Got a job doing some copper gutter work & found out the "big" soldering iron I had wasn't big at all & found them on ebay for really good prices. When I got the first one it came with the box & cradle & I plugged it in to see if it would work & 5-10 minutes later it was glowing dull red in the dim light in that corner of the room. They do make solder flow real fast.

...we'll learn more by wandering than searching...
We've got a club going here, I have 3 of these large guys too. American Beauty brand is definitely a great choice and they're usually available on eBay at a good price. The right tool for soldering sheet metal. If you're fabricating brewing equipment, copper gutters, metal boxes, etc. you'll love 'em.
