Weller soldering irons work like that. I don't know af any boilers
that do.

Curie point again .. I'm not *sure* this boiler does but the fridge

Are you repairing a boiler or a fridge ?

I've only ever heard of thermocouples used in boilers


They (I g) have no issue spending 7 quid (10 inc vat and postage /
whatever),

Best place to start is really to just go into your local CH merchant and
ask for one

If you don't mind me saying so, you're turning a simple problem into a
saga
