Although I imagine they don't have quite the range of stuff that Jaycar carry, for soldering irons and cables they are probably a better choice - which is not to say this kind of gear is cheap in NZ.

Knitting needles are frequently confiscated which would fall into a similar "pointy (but not really)" object category. I wouldn't be taking one as carry on because all it takes is a grumpy security agent to end up losing it, no matter what the actual rules are.
