Hi All,
Just before Xmas I managed to blow up my old soldering iron......it was 15 years old so I can't complain! I am looking for a replacement. I have always used the 'pistol-type' irons, but none of the High Street places seem to sell them anymore. Plenty on the web. Before I splash the cash can anyone recommend a particular make/model, stick or pistol-type soldering iron? I will have one more look in the shops tomorrow. Thanks for the help. ![]() |

![]() If it's 12v, the Sealey 12v 40w one is fantastic and only a tenner:

If its a decent iron you are after I would recommend a weller 75w 240v iron. They have an 8mm tip and can be used for almost anything. Around 35 quid but well worth it.
