You’re going to have to keep looking, you haven’t quite doubled your budget yet 
I think the budget was fucked the minute I hit the post button.

Fixt for accuracy. Budgets, pffffft.
How much have you budgeted for Kondo solder? 
No matter what the project, work out what you think it should be (or ask the person doing the job for you) then double the the cost and triple the time.
I recon go for the second hand proper (blue) one.
Ah, fuck it.
Found a new one of these at a good price with free delivery to the North of Nowhere, so I’ve bought it.
Thanks for all the advice and help. The AA should be renamed BB (Budget Busters!)

In true old school fashion,you really should of bought something totally different to all the recs.
Like a pair of pliers, or something like that

Yeah, crimping FTW!
Very nice, only 5x over budget, I guess. ROFL. Still, it will do you for everything you might ever need to solder, except perhaps pipes.
Make sure to get a selection of tips.

Got a couple more tips on order from RS
