Quality of items is very poor. I brought two different sets of USB cables for my iPod and iPhone and they both stopped working after a couple ofweeks. I brought from Apple store now and have not had a problem. The tools Maplin sells are also extremely poor quality. Screwdrivers, soldering stations (I bought every one they sell)I threw all in the bin after using a couple of times only. I now get my tools from RS and Rapid and have not had any problems.
many of the tools Maplin sells are way over priced too. Buy brands like Lindstrom, Bharco, CK, Klein, Weller.
