Recommend Me a Soldering Iron

[Bigdawgracer]

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.
