A robust mains-powered 25W general-purpose soldering iron. The handle is ribbed for extra grip & a removable clip is supplied to enable the iron to be safely hung up whilst not being used. If the iron is remaining idle while still hot then the iron MUST be placed in a stand or hung by its clip for safety reasons. The bit has a 5mm chisel tip & is held in place by one of the grub screws on the barrel. A replacement bit is available separately. The element cannot be changed.
