I have had one sodering iron casualty. I had a 40 watt iron from Radio Shack, and I was replacing the tip. Little did I know I forgot to unplug it. When I began unscrewing the tip, sparks began to fly and I kicked the main breaker at my apartment. It scared the heck out of me.

I had a friend that owned a blue crowbar. For some reason he loved that crowbar. He used to call it ol' bluey

Hmm... I should name my soldering iron...

Sorry to hear about your loss...

I have an orange weller iron. My first and last iron as of yet.
