irishthump Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Sorry to put a damper on things but I got one of those soldering irons and I would recommend you to stay clear! The tips are of poor quality and are of the screw-in type so they are difficult to replace. On the plus side you get a set of tips for engraving wood which you might find useful. The stand works well though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree, I bought a soldering station from Lidl last year and it burned trough the tips and then packed in. Steer clear its a false economy. Better off investing in an Antex there not that expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRich Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I agree a Weller or an Antex are great irons. There are tips and other accessories readily available. Soldering isn't like other tasks where you can buy a cheap piece of kit to practice with and a buy a better tool in the future. One of those irons won't last and could give you the impression that you are the cause of poor work. Rich, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
