I consider $30 not very expensive and even dirt cheap
for a tool.

Sure you could get away with a gas stove heated soldering
iron, but isn't a temperature controlled, fine tip iron a lot
more professional and less painful? Would you consider
spending money on tools of the trade unecessary?

And, by the way, I hope you have progressed from the 90Sxxxx
AVRs, the new ones have a lot more fuses to get wrong,
as we hear daily on avrfreaks.net, and it is a lot easier
to get wrong with non Studio based programming interfaces.
AVROPSP2 being a possible exception.
