soldering iron and wire stripper.

[garfa]

'ey guys,
just thought that if you a budding elec/automotive buff and need a good cordless iron that the portasol super pro is a very nice iron to work with. enough power to solder almost all gauges. the temp is adjustiable and it runs for a bit over an hour depending on how high its turned up.
also the jaycar auto wire stripper is a bit more sturdy than the bunnings equiv. one.
just thought you all might like to hear about them.
cheers, garth.

(note: i am in no way being payed for this plug by any company.)

how much is it?

 

[Tasmaniak]

The purchase of side cutters that cut flat are the best investment around

 

[garfa]

the iron is $100 from jaycar or $85 from newmillenium and the strippers are $25 from jaycar and a bit less from newmillenium.

I got a set of strippers, you just line up the wire in the correct hole and the strippers grab the wire and strip it all in one action. They the best investment i ever made, cost around $25 from Dick Smith or Jaycar.

thee ones are auto sizing for the insulation though (not a new thing buy it is to some) so no lining up ot anything!

bah, I dunno why you kids don't just use side cutters to strip wire... why carry around an extra tool.

normally i will just use a knife, but it is quicker for most people to use a dedicated stripper, less chance of the masses cutting the wires!
surely you have had aprentices that can't strip wire?!
