The very definition of semi-professional.
I am a musician and hobbyist who makes his own leads, builds his own circuits, repairs his own gear. I use one of these things to do what I need to do, and it does it passably well. The sponge pad comes adrift far too easily, the tips are not the best; but compared to most DIY store soldering irons it is head-and-shoulders above them. If you want to spend three figures on professional gear, go ahead. If you want to spend £10 on a rubbish soldering iron, go ahead. This is perfect for the limited-budget hobbyist, or the self-maintaning musician. It's not perfect, but it is the best in its class. (Incidentally, Maplin sell this same item for more money. Why would you?)Verified purchase: Yes

Good quality and good price.
I have used this soldering iron many times. It heats up quickly to an adjustable temperature. Just remember to remove the polythene from the tip before switching on!Verified purchase: Yes

An excellent tool and good service
A very useful soldering iron. Works very well. Also, the provider replaced it when it broke down for some reason with no quibbles, even though I had had it for a few months.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
