I was using a much cheaper soldering iron before and have found that this heats up much faster and is far more reliable, it's perfect for PCB and electronic work, and all general use. I bought some of the extra different shaped heads and have found it very useful to be able to just change heads for different solder joints on various circuits. I've used this now for more than a year and can safely say it's a great and reliable product, also safer than a lot of the other untested and unregulated soldering irons! 10 out of 10! Review: Top quality electric soldering iron let down by unsuitable cable. - An excellent soldering iron. However, the cable was heavy and not flexible enough, the result being that when laying the iron down during a job, it would not stay where you put it, even using the small rest supplied with the iron. This represents a safety issue, as the working end of the iron gets very hot and could cause serious harm to persons or materials, if the iron should make accidental contact. A quality product spoilt by wrong choice of cable. There was no easy way to disconnect the cable, so a more suitable type of cable coud be substituted. These comments should be passed on to Antex. ## Features - Quality UK design - Ideal for lead-free solders - Large range of replacement tips available ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003DPKKR2 | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,518 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 25 in Soldering Irons | | Colour | Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (343) | | Date First Available | 23 Mar. 2010 | | Handle material | Polyvinyl Chloride, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) | | Head Style | Pencil | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 200 g | | Item model number | CS18 | | Manufacturer | Antex | | Part number | S482470 | | Power source type | AC | | Product Dimensions | 30 x 7 x 5 cm; 200 g | | Special Features | Portable | | Specific uses | Residential Use, Hobbyist Use, Light Industrial Use | | Style | Basic | | Voltage | 230 Volts | | Wattage | 18 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Antex - **Power source:** AC - **Special feature:** Portable - **Specific uses for product:** Residential Use, Hobbyist Use, Light Industrial Use - **Wattage:** 18 watts ## Images ![Soldering Iron CS18 from ANTEX (S482470) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510UTaGuURL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this iron also weld pvc ?** A: It will melt PVC, not sure about welding it. Please note, this is a***soldering*** iron, designed to melt ***solder*** **Q: What is the grey credit card sized metal plate with the two holes in it, alongside the iron shown in the photo ?** A: It's a stand for the soldering iron. The slot in the iron ( yellow section of the handle) at the soldering tip end fits into the groove of V shape of the plate. You bend the plate to suit the way the iron fits in the grooved. The holes are for screws with which you secure the plate to a bench or table top. **Q: is this suitable for silver jump rings please?** A: No, this will not generate the heat needed to solder silver jump rings. **Q: Can you confirm this soldering iron comes with a stand when purchased from this link please?** A: They come with a small metal pop out stand, not as substantial as the Antex spring stand with sponge base though. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it's perfect for PCB and electronic work *by B***N on 12 August 2014* the soldering heads are all replaceable.

But I luckily remembered the cheap one was the same one my brother had owned before and it burnt through the plastic handle! very unsafe this however was for my first TV PCB repair (successfull!!!) And I didnt have to worry about the handle being hot or if I left it on for to long it did the Job FLAWLESSLY the quality is superb and will probably last me years, dont cheap out get this one, it was one less thing I had to worry about. ## Frequently Bought Together - Soldering Iron CS18 from ANTEX (S482470) - Soldering Iron Stand - ST4 Bench Stand by ANTEX - Soldering Iron Replacement bit - 0.5mm for Antex XS25 Iron (55 bit) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68241619-soldering-iron-cs18-from-antex-s482470](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/68241619-soldering-iron-cs18-from-antex-s482470) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
