soldering stations
« on: May 08, 2009,08:39:33 »
Hi all,

I am looking to get some new soldering / desoldering gear. Does anyone use the Duratool equipment supplied by Farnell / CPC ? Its quite cheap and has a good range of accessories and spares, but is it any good?

Thanks

Keith

As a service engineer I have used astation that Maplins sell; CPC sold it for Approx £50 andMaplins for £30 good value and does the same as the CPC one

Thanks for that car19. Maplin only seem to do temp controlled irons, but one of those remote controlled helicopters looks fun!!!I am looking for a hot air rework station for SMD chips and a desoldering station that works well with multi layer  / through board soldering.
