Evening,
I would like to buy a soldering iron to replace the micro switches in one of the car keys.
Any suggestions as to what I should buy would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards David

I can recommend the park side one from Lidl, solders outside in cold weather a treat.

If you fancy buying one that'll be handy to have around for a good few years, I swear by these:

You can also remove the tip and use it as a mini blowtorch. :D
I've done plumbing and all sorts with mine.

Buy the Lidl one. Not expensive and most of their stuff is OK.
Bought lots from them and not had any duds yet.---:D
