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 |

solder station
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. http://www.oople.com/forums/search.php?searchid=5606634 Regards Sam

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?

wasp / Spec Racing. Still using mine 26 years later, plus have a new one packaged as back up. Best irons for racing as they take up virtually no room in your pit bag and red hot in under 30 seconds.

Is this a re-baged Wasp Iron?
I bought it from Apex Models about 15 years ago. It still works great however I would love to know if there are any replacement tips which fit.
