My "lab"

Thank you for recommending JBC! 

Our range of soldering irons includes from the  most precise NT105,  perfect to work under a microscope,  until the powerful T470. The short distance  between the tip and the handle enables to obtain the highest precision. JBC tools are currently the smallest,  the lightest and the most ergonomic.

Usually, I only buy oranges from Spain, but if you send me one, I will reviews it for you

@Christopher: Is your bench an Ikea Fredrik? If so, what are your thoughts on build quality?

Yep. Very very nice, although the shelves were a bit of a pain in the arse to put in.

Shelves are solid as a rock with scopes etc on, because of the metal bar under it.

Bought it 2nd hand for £40!

Thanks for the feedback. I've been contemplating them for a new personal setup, although they're quite difficult to acquire around here at a reasonable price; shipping costs make purpose-designed benches intended for the industrial market look like an attractive option.

Dunno how does it look in the UK, but in most of the eastern europe JBC equipment is prohibitively expensive. Ok, we have JBC stations at work, if my company is willing to put out that much money, it's not my problem. I generally can't justify putting out something like 1.5-2x my monthly sallary for a soldering station.

I agree, that JBC qeuipment is very good in quality and extremly ergonomic (very light handles), but i can't actually think of a feature in soldering station that would make me pay that much money for it.

Get a hardcover (bound, not spiral spine) log book and make notes on the things you work on.

Just yesterday I saved probably 2 hours dicking around when I picked up a project that I dropped 6 months ago and merely had to review my notes to get back on track.

Ah! That's some good advice! Thanks :-)
