IF you want a good iron, spend £50 on it, temp controlled irons are the way to go, they usually come with a selection of tips for all types of applications. 12v irons always seem to burn out their tips, Gas irons are ok, but if it is cold and breezy, they are a pain, maybe some clubs won't like you using it indoors to.

I have a Maplin 50w Mains temp controlled iron, have had it a good few years now, it is used regularly, club members borrow it to.
