Soldering Irons
Discussion
Anyone have any recommendations?
Will be used for very basic DIY stuff so doesn't need to be the best.
Will I be ok with a cheapo kit from Amazon or should I go for something with a bit more quality?
The reviews on Amazon vary quite a bit even on their highest rated stuff with some not working after a bit, so I'm not sure if I should chance it.

Thanks for all the responses.
I didn't think it would be such a minefield.
Like I said it will only be for occasional use with odd jobs of soldering wires and maybe some components onto boards so doesn't need to be professional level.
Think I will spring for one of the cheapo kits on Amazon and hope for the best.
Shout out to whoever recommended CPC as think I will go for their Duratool version if the Amazon one breaks and then I'll still have all the other bits of kit left over that I can put to use.
