Don't throw away your soldering iron.
I tossed mine years ago. Bad decision. If you wear glasses and you ever break them, odds are good you can solder them back together. As long as they aren't titanium. I had to use a jewelry repair house when I snapped my glasses in half. It was still much cheaper than what my inurance would pay for. I don't need a new set of glasses. Yet.

Throw away my soldering iron(s)?
Are you completely mad? I'm not likely to throw away my (WWII surplus) soldering copper either(1).
(1) A soldering copper is like a soldering iron except but it's cordless(2)
(2) Required accessories - blowtorch.

Noooo.... now you gone a done it.
No, that is not a soldering iron.
It is for mainly sheetmetal working. Soldering sheetmetal (steel, tin, pewter, copper, brass)
I know this, I have one as well, made from a high-temperature copper alloy, capable of being about 3 times as hot as regular copper before melting.
I use them with silver-solder to make drip-pans and customize engine oil-pans, even body work. There are some "rigs" out there that actually have a blow-torch built-in that when you return the "iron" the mount it auto-magically cranks the heat on and warms the whole thingamajigger.
So, yeah, I ain't throwing out my old ones either. (Hell I still have the cheasy cheap one I was bought for christmas ~7 years old.)

Dude - how do you fix your guitar cords?
when the singer gets crazy and runs between you and your amp?
You gotta have soldering gear if'n you wanna rock n roll.

Or, how do you fix the singer's mic cable.
Lord knows singers can't. :)

Last band I was in, we fixed it by giving her a cordless mic. She simply could not be contained.

Word to the wise
Don't let your singer pretend to be Roger Daltry unless you have lots of duct tape.
Somebody could lose an eye. The singer will almost definitely lose his microphone!

Ever heard of George Ls cables?
Cable comes by the foot and you attach the connectors, solderless. They have both right angle and straight. I've got several friends who swear by them. I'm reworking my pedalboard now with them. [link|http://www.tonefactor.com/products.php?cat=32|Check em out].
