@Adam_Iron_Horse, CPC has always produced great soldering irons but when it comes to reliability, I think hakko and weller are your best bet. You can get a soldering iron for as less as $40 from weller and it'll work for years. I always advise people to spend a little more on soldering irons. If you can get something in $50 that will work for 10 years, I think it's much better than having a $15 soldering iron which might not even last a few months.

Resurrecting a quite old thread here. Did anyone ever try out this one?
http://cpc.farnell.com/tenma/21-10115-uk/soldering-station-digital-esd/dp/SD01738 I've got a lot of bespoke multicores to install this summer. Need something better than my 25w Antex. |
