Default RE: Which Iron ?

I also happen to have both the Coverite and the Top Flite trim irons and both are seldom used.

When I do the small and long flat shoe that come with that comes with the Top Flite is the most usefull and for this reason the coverite never gets used.

Bottom line buy the cheapest iron you find, in other words any bimetal type and use the money you save to also purchase also a heat gun. And not a hair dryer, they get too hot and do not have the airbleed heat control that a covering heat gun does. This is a far more useful selection of tools and of course the bimetal irons are far more durable, this being more important than you may think.
