content: It's an acronym, "Customer Returns Already Processed". Not at all indicative of the quality of the CRAP I'm selling.

content: The trouble with Tenma stuff is the logo makes it look crapper than it actually is; who designed that!Farnell were almost giving away the little hot air SMD pre-heater things the other month; and they work OK!In the UK at least it sounds like a incontinent product as well!

content: I have to agree with you. The Tenma stuff is good value for money and works well considering it's at the bottom of the price range. The hot air stuff is decent - wide range of temperature and variable flow. The latest soldering stations are very fairly priced and work just fine as well. The PSUs are remarkable value for money, you get a lot for your money.Now DuraTool.. hmm don't get me started on DuraStool crap...
