New Toy

After collecting some spare cash, ran down to Pasar Road on Wednesday and got meself a Hakko Presto. The only model they had was the one with the cover. The one without the cover might have been cheaper. Also got Kester 0.5mm soldering lead. Total spend RM100.00. Far much less than what Uncle Chow (9M2CF) spent last week. ;-) All Prestos come with 0.5mm tip, still looks a bit big. Might change it to 0.25mm tip later. That alone is about RM35.00, but lasts a very long time.

My new Hakko Presto 20W/130W iron. Button for 130W.

Doesn't comes fitted with plug.

Kester 0.5mm 500gms.

Nine Whiskey Two India Charlie Echo WEDS!

Sorry dear, you no longer a YL dear.
