Rolled the dice on a $15 soldering iron from Harbor Freight... | Fix It Don't Toss It

My lamp flex broke right at the base and I figured I'd either fix it or junk it, so I grabbed that cheapo iron on a whim. It actually held enough heat to sweat the joint clean and I got the wire reconnected in about 8 minutes flat. Has anyone else gotten decent results out of a tool you were sure would be garbage?
