its a good item no matter what anyone says if your convtable with what you want to buy get it thats my opinion.

yes its maplins and i change the tip on mine as it would not heat up good cos the tip was abit on the big side.

thats the only problem i had was the tip and nothing else for about 3-4years now so you really mush be talking about another model

Ok I am slightly reassured now thanks guys. I have already purchased the item I cold not resist it at its price and its in FL about 3hrs away from me so hopefully I willl get it by beginning of next week I literally only had 30usd to spend and ken loaned me 5 I wanted to spend as much as I could spare on a decent station I simply don't have the money to spend 400 on a soldering iron even if I did I wouldn't spend it on a soldering iron Id buy something else more worth my money as I never had problems really with my crap iron I got in an electronics repair kit from my grandparents but it is now completely dead so I wanted to upgrade a little bit without spending an entire car payment. AlienX I think is just a little hard to please and all of his equipment is top of the line so im sure it is crap next to him and his Weller station but as Im just upgrading from a chepo to this I think it will serve my purposes well.
