"this is only a 20watt solution, bare this in mind if you start using heavier thicker solder *like the cheap ass nasty stuff* it will take an age to flow!"

I have bought from this seller quite a lot before ALWAYS good !


This is a good solution for arround £20, you can get extra-bits for the iron to giving you greater access to REALLY small welds!

lets see what others suggest...

you got £20.... I would be very interested in seeing what alexh and jope would buy
