Nice, blade welder too. Properly set up and looked after they don’t come much better than that.

I’m getting really confused with all these irons. I see the Ksger t12 has a built in power supply. Is the only reason why you buy one without is so it can be powered by a vehicles battery, on site etc?

The ones that require a separate power supply will run on anything between 12 and 24 volts, so ideal for use away from a mains supply. On a lower voltage they take a bit longer to heat up, but still pretty rapid. Quicko do one with an oled display that needs a power supply and Ksger do one that I think only has an led display. Some have an stm32 processor while other only have an stc. You definitely need to do your homework when buying one of these as the replacement soldering handles are wired differently for different makes and models.

From what I've been reading on the EEVblog Electronics Community Forum it would appear that the advantage of the STM32 is that you can use custom firmware with it.

You have not seen EEVblog I take it.For a soldering iron
Obviously some very clever people on there but many are seemingly unaware of the law of diminishing returns.
A dead sexy 400 litre roofbox for my little Nissan van.
Ex hire, only 12 months old with barely a scratch on it, and at £100 cheaper than a new one I'm somewhat pleased with it. They also threw in a handful of luggage straps, foc, which is what I went in for in the first place
, and carriage from Tonbridge to North Yorkshire was quite reasonable as well

The related You Tube channel. He has some reviews on meters and low end scopes which is how I found the You Tube channel but really if you are having difficulty sleeping, stick one of his videos on and you will be fast asleep within five minutes.

The canal locks were drained for maintenance 200 metres from where I live and £72 worth of coal was sitting at the bottom, no one knows why or how but its now in my coal bunker. I'm sitting by a roaring fire tonight and considering myself a jammy barsteward .

45 years ago I had the chance of one for free, the only catch the guy who owned it said I had to lift it into my car on my own

If, and by the look of it you did, you transported that on a large lorry then thank you. It amuses me to see artics and like with a pathetically small load on the back. For example, a 40' flat bed with a single office chair strapped to it. It passes the time on motorways.

I've had one of these for a while....they are very handy.
I also have the hot air version which I believe is meant to be used for removing larger components but I find it very handy having a temperature controlled air source.

I was given a Troika lamp today signed by Simone Kilburn and i will be finding a nice LED bulb and period shade for it.
I have a similar Startrite bandsaw if you need any advice.
Awesome machines - set it up right and it will cut to within less than a thou!
