I have a 60w iron and 16awg is always the size that's just too big for me and always a pain to solder.

Is it actually a 60w iron or does it only hit that current when heating from roomtemp and not when keeping the tip on temperature?

Sorry I thought it was 60 cause that was the newest one but looked at mine it's the haklo station 70w. Pretty sure it's 70w but could be just 70w at startup.
