A 230V mains powered 25W  or 18W soldering iron fitted with a UK 13A mains plug.

Highly respected by both industrial users and hobbyists alike, Antex soldering irons have become one of today's classic soldering tools. It is a tribute to the simple, yet highly effective basic design of the XS25W or CS18W miniature electric soldering iron that it has changed little over the years.
