Strange that no one recommend ERSA...
not really, he said he has a £50 limit.
50£ very low to buy something good, possible but if buy tips or other acessories will always overpass, but theres an situation when you show other options he can decide to raise the budget if likes and justify the investment
Thats true. I really like the look of the TS100 though. About £60 then I would need a decent PSU mind you? Not sure what to do?
TS100 is a good to go, i have one and i use it over ERSA when i'm just to lazy to change the tips mutiple times in same rework and i can tell you it perform just as well otherwise i wouldn't use. You have the portabilty, you can use a battery to power it, good tips (i own them all, they are just a few).
PSU you can use your 19VDC laptop charger, i have an 24V, the only difference will be the heat up time, you win a few seconds.
Beware of fake power supply and cheap crap.
PSU with earth connection is better since you can stay ESD safe, but it will work without it.
Hmm. Notice there is a "New Upgraded" TS100

I doubt about that, that just marketing... What you got there is a different shell (Brown color, i have transparent you can buy them from china), a power supply, a extra tip and other accessories that you can discard or won't need anyway.
TS100 is TS100 there aren't other model. Still is a good deal
PSUs can be easly found on eBay
