Both posters below have the right idea. No one size fits all.That big mutha is good for the cable ends, but will melt the insulation off of cartridge wires.
Why not get one "big gun" and a little 25 - 40 watt iron for the small stuff? Irons are cheap enough.
Also, the big one will incinerate circuit boards unless you are quick & careful.
In any case, practice makes perfect. It's an acquired skill. Don't expect your first attempts to be perfect.
