Anything else I'll need to make sure I have or should look for in a kit? Maybe something like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Magentos-Superb-Quality-Soldering-Iron/dp/B071XJLGK9/ref=sr_1_1?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1528566747&sr=1-1&keywords=soldering+kit
or maybe this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Antex-XS25-25-Soldering-Iron/dp/B003ITY13W/ref=sr_1_3?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1528566747&sr=1-3&keywords=soldering+kit

You'll need to get some kind of stand with a tip cleaner (damp sponge or brass wire type), and a third-hand type tool is also extremely useful.

Useful as the higher temps are good for jack leads, back of pots etc, and lower for pcb.
Presuming you can get different bits for it easily as well.
A stand and a holder or hand will be needed for sure!
Thanks
Thanks.
I’ve managed before with the cheapest iron money could buy at the time but recall buying seperate solder from Maplin...
