So I am in the process of making a G-Boy but I don't have a very good soldering iron so I have just been using my uncles but its a tad annoying having to go pick it up every time I want to continue work on it so I figured you guys may have a soldering iron under 75$ that can at least get my through making a G-Boy?

At one point the recommended base level iron was the Weller WLC100. I dunno if there's a better budget option available now, but the WLC100 will do the job.

It should work, yes. I've never seen this brand or model before, so I have no information on its reliability. Provided the unit isn't DOA, it will do the job.
