Hi folks,
After finding myself doing more and more soldering due to this and other hobbies, I've decided that my trusty little iron (owned since my university days - and I'm now pushing 50!) isn't really cutting it for me anymore so it's time to upgrade to a soldering station.
So, what's a good one to buy?
Bearing in mind I'm in the UK so a lot of US stores/brands will be off the table due to stupidly excessive postage/import duty/VAT charges. Sources like AliExpress are still good though (as long as order value is low enough), gotta admit some of these Chinese manufacturers are doing some really tidy work at amazing prices these days.
Cheers,
Phil
