Product reviewsAntex XS25S 25W Soldering Iron - Yellow (S582470)

Pay a bit more but by jingo it's worth it...

Had one of these for absolute donkeys years and in end got so rusty I binned it for another, wishing I had been less lazy and cleaned it then kept it. Had a cheapo for past few years. I've just bought my son one for his new job and it's as good and robustly made as the old ones so now buying myself one.

Most old stuff has gone down hill in quality but not here, pay a bit more and you'll pay once. Works out better value for your in the long run!!Read full review...

Perfect replacement for 25 wattAntex iron.

This was a replacement for an element that failed after 25 years! It was a perfect replica of the original and was simple to fit. As the connections require soldering it does mean, however,that you will need another soldering iron.

Antex Silicone cable irons are much superior

The silicone cabled version of these irons is vastly superior to the cheaper, pvc cabled jobbies!
The silicone cable is way-more flexible to work with. The pvc on a light-weight iron is like barge-rope.
Spend the extra!Read full review...

Highly recommend

A very good soldering iron and what makes it great is the silicone mains cable which permit greater freedom of movement.

Simply the Best

After a lifetime in the TV trade (They don't break down like they used to), I have used antex all the way. As far as I am concerned they are simply the best!

Legendary quality - the best

Excellent iron, feels just right and has a fast heat-up time. A wide range of tips are available. Only possible disadvantage is that the lead is rather short, however this has not been a problem for me.Read full review...

Made in UK. Good quality.

Antex have been around for years. Great quality. Silicon cable is good option to protect it from occasional accident.

Good soldering iron

Well made not the cheapest, but worth it for reliable operation .
