The Radio Shack desoldering iron can be nice, but it might not be a bad idea to periodically check to ensure there's no continuity between the metal exterior and the AC line. One of my coworkers where I used to work was using one of those things that developed an internal short to the frame. Blew some traces off the board he was trying to repair.

Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure and check mine before I put it to use again.
