88 Zed Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Has anybody on here got any recommendations for a decent dremel kit and a gas soldering kit that won't break the bank or fall apart on me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I bought a cheapo ebay 15 quid one and it works great gas one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350 Russ Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 i have one of these and i think its the absolute dogs. it gets hot really quick and it gets a really good temperature aswell. thoroughly recommended. Also it has a little exhaust hole on the side of the tip which is perfect for heat shrink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Love my Dremel and have had it for over a decade now. The model I have is discontinued now but this is a pretty similar new age model version with a decent selection of bits included: http://www.screwfix.com/p/dremel-4000-4-65-175w-rotary-multi-tool-240v/85047 Definitely go for a mains wired version though whatever model you get as I don't personally rate the rechargeable battery versions. Dremel also make gas soldering irons: http://www.screwfix.com/p/dremel-f0132300ja-versatip-gas-torch/1596d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Yup I can shout for the 4000 as well. Don't buy a cheap imitation Dremel, buy a Dremel no matter what. I've done so much work with my Dremel its untrue, cutting of plastics, aluminium, sanding, drilling, even got the attachment to turn it into a Router with all the bits to go with it. Truly brilliant!

un1eash Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've been using this soldering iron for a few years now. Got it in the sale so paid a little less. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/pro-iroda-solderpro-50w-gas-soldering-iron-kit-n12ar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
