Versatile, need to get used to for soldering, 12 Mar 2011

This is certainly versatile and cordless is great - worth the price for a single in the field repair alone.
Need to learn to remember which way the hole in the soldering tip faces as I melted a cover whilst soldering a plug onto a cable, used the torch to make it malleable again and fixed it up.
Just as delicate as an electric iron but a little different, I'm a little rusty though.
Great item, and fills easily from a standard lighter filler canister from the supermarket!

The only sun hat I've ever found comfortable to wear, 13 Feb 2011

I bought this from a shop where I could try it on for size. It's so good I own two - one hemp and one cotton, the latter is more all-weather.
Having fair skin a sun hat is a very useful item, particularly as I now have limited hair coverage. I used to try a new "one size" each year but they always shrank or got sweaty and were a chore to wear. Enter the Tilley and it's a positive joy. I was concerned the brown colour may make it too hot in the sun but this is not the case (here in the UK).

Brilliant - files rescued, 18 Oct 2010

I bought this item after my desktop old PC failed.
For £18 I could get everything off the hard drives once I got them out of the now dead PC - lifesaver.
Does what it says and reads old IDE drives like mine as well as more modern connectors. Includes the power connector which is brilliant - everything you need in the box.
Delighted.
