Draper 23554 Soldering Iron Stand, Blue

After melting a hole in our carpet using the flimsy stand supplied with a soldering iron kit I purchased, I decided it was necessary to invest a sturdier soldering iron stand. The reviews for this Draper model seemed positive and the tapering dual spring design meant it should accommodate both smaller and large soldering irons. The price is excellent and I have to say the quality is also high. The stand is supplied with the spring separate and you just need to attach it with a wing nut supplied. The sponge comes dehydrated and almost looks like a piece of card until you soak it in water when it then becomes usable. The stand is weighty and although it doesn't have rubber feet, the epoxy coated metal is smooth enough not to damage your worktops. Make sure before you start your soldering session that you moisten the sponge. Overall a great value stand!

It does the job just fine, and what I particularly like about this one is that, compared to other holders I used in my life, this one is quite heavy and hence, stable, so I didn't have to stick coins or other heavy stuff to the bottom to prevent it from moving or falling down. Recommend!I put 5* for 'Lightweight' to avoid rating going down for a really good tool, but it's quite heavy and it is great!

Heavy, sturdy and competent. Better than the cheap, flimsy ones, especially if you're using a mains soldering iron with a cable which exerts a bit of drag. I would have liked some way to attach to my bench without modifiying it - should be relatively easy to do but it should also be pre-drilled and better yet, supplied with nuts and bolts as a fixed option. Hence, 4 stars and only just - that black piece at the top of the sprung housing is plastic and should be metal like the base. Does the job tho.

Soldering has been a hobby for many years. More recently I received some Instruction from someone who really knows what he's doing. With my new and worthy knowledge, I bought this to complement an 'iron' he brought for me. The latter remains safety away whilst in between applications and the sponge speaks for itself.

The product arrived on time and is great value for the money that I had to spend to purchase it. The product is very well made and does exactly what you would expect it to do! I have purchased many items prior to this one and I do not always write any sort of product review but on this occasion I thought I would.I have used my purchase for the first time today and I am more than impressed with its functionality and its stability.

Sturdy with solid metal base, wider spring area fits my blue draper soldering iron. The sponge swells out to bigger than the gap for it but still works fine. Mush better than previous ones I had

Quite sturdy, holds my Weller soldering iron well, heavy enough so that it doesn’t fall over. Good size well for sponge.

Decent enough, but if you plan to just get it out every now and again, get a different one. Get this if you want a soldering iron stand that's always set up. You have to unscrew everything to put it away.

Macht in sich einen guten Eindruck und steht auch schön stabil auf dem Tisch. Ist auch für Lötkolben mit direktem Schukostecker (ohne Lötstation) geeignet.

Il supporto è ottimo. La spugna ancora non l'ho provata. La base è molto pesante quindi regge molto bene il saldatore. Sono soddisfatto.

Poco que decir, los materiales están bien, y la pieza es estable. Un detalle hubiera sido incluir dos esponjas más de repuesto, pero vaya, eso lo puede hacer cualquiera. Por el precio que tiene está bien.

Fait son boulot de socle, l'éponge n'est pas très utile et s'use rapidement car très fineBon rapport qualité prix je recommande

il migliore, pesante e stabile
