We use the weller at work and they are bomb proof. Just be careful with tips as the new lead free irons use different 2 part tips compared to the older irons which use a single piece tip, which aren't interchangeable from memory.
That was my first ever iron when I was about 8!Quote:

I have settled on Metcal for the last couple of Irons ~
