    Hi folks! Mindi and I are so sorry about the mistake with the voltages. She and I are both not technical people, and we just didn't think about it! Gerrit, check your inbox as I think we have a solution…

    It's not quite what I was expecting as there's a Weller WES51 rather than the soldering tool kit.  That and the Duratool Hot Air Gun are both US plug 120v so I can't really use them even if I did swap the plugs.

     

    On the plus side there's a Ben Heck Show T-Shirt that should fit nicely and a wind up dancing man.

     

    The heatshrink should be very useful.

    They must have overlooked that Europe has a different power outlet voltage.

    The Dremel, heat gun and the soldering iron within the tool kit are all 120v, so useless for me.

    The heat shrink is indeed useful, and I think my grand-kids will like the smurfs.

    The top 3 should have a digital iron the wes51 is analogue. But equally at 120v it would be useless to you.

    I'm a little surprised that the Dremel is not auto-ranging.

    you are right, it should indeed be a digital iron. As it isn't send already I just asked for a 240v version.
