I have been "tidying" the garage up this afternoon, a good excuse to have a play with the soldering iron works a treat.
I bought the spare butane as well.

There is another one for £9.99.

There is also a multimeter for £2.97 which is a bargain.

boatman,
It's funny you should mention the multimeter, grabbed one of those also
If you go to the mutlimeter page, at the bottom they show a Maplin 9V battery as an accessory, which is £2.49 on it's own
The multimeter does come with a battery anyway.
So using my warped logic, 57 pence for a multimeter is even more of a bargain

That multimeter is a bargain, looks great quality - backlit and everything. No transistor test but for basic users it's great!

Possibly worth buying 2 for the spare tips as they are £20 inc postage alone??? lol

Hi everyone, 1st post, though been lurking in here all over xmas (catching the bargains!), the tips can be bought here: http://www.burntecshop.co.uk/acatalog/GasCat_75P.html
hope it's o.k to link?, just ordered 2 from maplin, total givaway.... had one of these in the 80's (not sure if it was antex!) and the tip lasted for years... only needed one, but I'm a sucker for bargains, a fool and his money are easily parted
:rolleyes:
