Has anyone heard of them?
my boss said he liked his iron he got from them and I needed a new one so I thought I'd try them


I got this one http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/7508 havn't really had a chance to use it except for messing around with the GBO mobo I had around

It came with this multimeter for free also. http://circuitspecialists.com/prod.itml/icOid/4632

It seems like they have lots of good stuff so just thought I'd share and see if anyone else had dealt with them before

I've ordered a fair amount of things from them, mostly tools and soldering stuff. I've never used one of their irons, but I have heard good things about them from people at work. I do have a heat gun from them though, which is made by the same company that does the irons (Aoyue). It's not the best quality, but it still works just fine.

Most of the multimeters they have are re-branded Mastech meters, and they're the best I've seen in their price range. The free meters are definitely a plus, too.

The only downside about the store is that the shipping and handling costs are usually pretty high, so I usually only order things from them if the price will balance out in the end.

I`ve ordered plenty of stuff from them over the years. If anyone is looking for a good cheap soldering iron, try this:

Its super stable, and very reliable. We have a few of these at my old job that have been in service for a few years.

Its a great option for those benheckers that are a little poor

Wow, superdeformed and grahf? Haven't seen you guys around for a while.

I'm thinking it's about time I sink some money into a decent iron myself. Those are looking pretty good to me!
