::How do they compare to the likes of Metcal, Antex and so on?

I'm an Antex person as well, I used to use Metcal at work. I think Metcal=20
gain in reliable heating, though bits are not as long lasting if you're not=
=20
careful, they also gain in being able to change bits easily on the fly,=20
Antex ones definitely aren't easy in my opinion.

Just to through an extra curve - I'm looking at JBC irons which are also=20
hot swappable and have the heater in the tip.

Have a look at www.howardelectronics.com for information.
