Budget corded iron, 60Watt like Radio Shack Model: J-060 | Catalog #: 55048001 $14 should be fine for any coil type work. Not an iron to do any type of board work, just for coil lug / wire attachment. They have a few different kinds. Duel power ect.. I would think 40-60Watt OK. NO BOARD repair. Use electronics solder 60/40 tin/lead with rosin core. Pre tin wire Pre tin coil lug. Attach. Coil lug may take 5 sec to heat. But not a lot of time.

watch this video to get some inspiration.

Soldering is easy, if just takes practice and the right equipment.

totally agree, flux makes a huge difference be sure to get some specific for electronic work not plumbing.

25Watt? soldering coil lugs and lamp sockets? i don't think so imo. the pf large thermal mass components will pull the heat away to fast and you will be trying to heat up way to long and or making cold solder joints. Yes you get what you pay for, but he wanted budget. Make sure it has a chisel tip(best all around imo), the pointed cone tips are crap, bent tips are gimmicky.

Yeah Weller, Hakko, JBC, Pace lots of choices. But a couple coil lugs, lamp sockets, wire. I find that type of work is a pain the the arse with a station.

Once again, way off base for doing coil, lamp socket wires. yeah great for on your bench.

yeah sort of, i too use an extra weller station for PF remote soldering but i HATE it. Moving the base the holder finding a place to set it down. The reach of the iron to the station is not that long. ETC..

I really think the pencil iron is the way to go. Much cheaper, and well just the better tool for the job.

Noticed though that almost any soldering question seem to derail and eventually sway folks from the cheap which is fine, to spending way more than needed. I have always been dollar wise.
