Product review: Dremel multi-function soldering iron

Simon Relph, 16 November 2012 11:50

Dremel multi-function soldering iron, £32.94Miles covered/time: One year What’s good: I tend to use this tool as a soldering iron more than anything else, but that’s not the limit of its usefulness (see below). It is easy to fill with butane gas (just like filling a gas lighter, if you have ever smoked), and the operation of a simple sequence ...

Dremel 8200-2/45 cordless, £122.54Time used: 11 months What’s good: This cordless version of the Dremel is a bit bigger due to the battery, but this issue is easily outweighed by the fact you can use it anywhere.

Product review: Acumen AcuTrac

Simon Relph, 15 November 2010 16:28

Fitting can be done simply and easily, and takes around half an hour. The moment the power is connected a ...
