Hi, new to the forum, but looks like I could have fun here.
I'd like to ask for some advice. I've been trying to do some surface-mount soldering for a while, but I can't justify buying a temperature controlled soldering iron just for one job. I know it would be a good investment, but my funds are what they are.
What I was thinking is that it would be good just to hire one. I tried contacting my local hackerspace to see if I could sign up and share their tools (even offered to buy a mini-wave tip they could keep), but got no response. My question now is, are there any places in the UK that hire out electrical engineering tools? Places like Hirestation and HSS only seem to hire out tools to the building trade. If not, do I have any other options?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Tom
