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!

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

yes Dave, I agree to

[RedRich]

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,
