Just bought an excellent bit of kit for a great price

I was after a more powerful soldering iron than the 25w mains powered one i've been using.
Unfortunately it's pretty useless when soldering large connections.
Spotted this on eBay and bought one:

ANTEX GASCAT 60W SOLDERING IRON KIT KXB04B0 - BRAND NEW | eBay UK

For £26.99 with free postage, this is a fantastic bit of kit.
Highly portable, no need to be stuck next to a plug socket.
I've tried soldering large connections and it works fine.
Comes with a desolder pump, snips, stand, tip wiper and 2 other tip attachments.
And no, I don't work for or own the company, just love a bargain when I see one

Nice find! That's a cracking price for what seems like a decent bit of kit.

I could have done with one today, I have been wiring my inverter into my motorhome and it pulls 60 amps at full load, I had to use my gas torch to solder the 8 mm cable and it burns the insulation a bit.
