Just received my new Metcal MX-5211 - 80W per output simultaneously with the standard and the ultra-fine handpieces.
Been a Metcal MX-500 user for many many years but time for an upgrade
It's a dream! Thought the old system would be difficult to improve on, but this is lovely...
Happy chappie! New soldering iron..

I'm sure it's the bizz, looks a bit pricey in dollars.
Do you know what the government restrictions are that prevent Mouser from selling it in this country? seems a bit wierd, I've never seen that notice before.

Hard to say, Farnell have the 5210 which looks to be the same with just one "iron"

Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.

It's an MX-5210 with a second handpiece which is for ultra-fine work, an MX-H2-UF with stand MX-W1AV.

Not totally au fait with what I'm looking at, but looks impressive nonetheless.
