A soldering iron station: any experience here?

[Stockden]

Yes, I use a Weller TCP too but like Al have found that the cost of replacement parts makes it uneconomical for me to keep it going (at least with new parts). I'll therefore be very interested to see how Al feels about the W.E.P. station after he's used it for a while.

Incidentally I was amused to see that it has "a heat resistant silica gel cord". Presumably that'll help keep the workshop nice and dry as well!
