[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1099083, member: 176704"] I did get that Lidl soldering iron, and first impressions are that it certainly very good for that price (£10), reasonably comfortable to hold "pen style", heats up quickly, and the built-in LED for illuminating the "target" is adequately bright. Interestingly, it has a 5V 1.7A dc wallwart PSU, USB A to USB C charging cable, and USB C ports on both the docking station and iron - and charged up from "dead" to full in about an hour or so. Comes with a 3 Yr warrantee, and BTW appears to have been sourced from Grizzly Tools in Germany (although as to where it was actually made =??) Thus, so far, I think that I can recommend grabbing one from LIDL if you have a local store that has some. PS: I'll wait until the Duratool one (my wife agreed to buy me one for my birthday :D) turns up on Monday and see how they compare. [/QUOTE]
