Please note, this is a***soldering*** iron, designed to melt ***solder*** **Q: What is the grey credit card sized metal plate with the two holes in it, alongside the iron shown in the photo ?** A: It's a stand for the soldering iron. The slot in the iron ( yellow section of the handle) at the soldering tip end fits into the groove of V shape of the plate. You bend the plate to suit the way the iron fits in the grooved. The holes are for screws with which you secure the plate to a bench or table top. **Q: is this suitable for silver jump rings please?** A: No, this will not generate the heat needed to solder silver jump rings. **Q: Can you confirm this soldering iron comes with a stand when purchased from this link please?** A: They come with a small metal pop out stand, not as substantial as the Antex spring stand with sponge base though. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A simple to use and highly reliable 18 watt soldering iron. *by M***H on 26 September 2025* One of the best 18 watt bench soldering irons out there.
