I'll go for the soldering iron - I've got a bigger one, but a small one will be useful. I've got 3 pairs of headphones that are awaiting new jacks, because my boy and swmbo break the leads by pulling the jack out by them or by carrying the computer around with everything plugged in and catching them on things. They have a guy who spends his life following them around repairing things, you see.

The only one I suggest avoiding is the right angle attachment, maybe I expected too much from it.
Mine sort of stuttered and stalled then broke completely and that wasn't by using it with an impact driver, just a drill.

Anyone tried the drillbit sharpener? The cynic in me makes me doubt, but at £4 it may be worth a punt.

I did buy and have still got the drill sharpener that lidl did some time ago. it was a standalone one with its own electric motor and I found it quite effective at keeping drills sharp. cant comment on the £4 one but as you say worth a punt
