soldering iron.

Hi guys,
Any recommendations on the best soldering iron / station to go for? Not wanting to spend a fortune but don't want a cheapo rubbish one either. Cheers

I bought a station from Maplin. It's been brilliant

HI
If you follow the link below, I have 2 types of solder station for sale, as already said the maplin one is really good but it is a bit bulky in your hauler bag, the precision gold one is better for your hauler bag but the iron itself is not as good.

Cheers for the replies, I bought the exact Maplin station yesterday and took it back. It only had a point tip rather than a flat chisel type. The extra tips available were all of the same point type. What's the one you have Jim?

These are worth a look.

The precision gold one has a choice of tips

The Team Corally Solder Station is excellent and only £69.99. It's worth considering the Solder tip set also so that you have a range of tips for the job.
