@bignews2.bellsouth.net: Spam and also junk! Right on both counts. I don't care how fast it heats the tiny tip. I care how fast it heats the center pin of a PL-259 coax connector, which it won't because there is no MASS or POWER. No match for a Weller gas soldering iron which will heat the connector in SECONDS and make a beautiful joint. |

No match for a Weller gas soldering iron which will heat the connector in SECONDS and make a beautiful joint. yeah i was really excited about this tool when i got one. junk. maybe .... MAYBE .. it would be ok soldering circuit boards, maybe. but the tip seems too wide for that, and you couldn't do any surface mount stuff with it i don't think, or if you did it would be using techniques i cannot yet imagine. as for soldering "regular stuff", nope, i melted the plastic part that holds the point the very first time i used it. that is, i melted the tool itself, destroyed, deceased. and when i was busy melting the tool it never did get hot enough to melt the solder i was trying to melt, all i was trying to do was solder a ground wire to a ground strap i had installed in the truck, trivial job for any soldering iron. the tool would melt a bead of solder which would promptly roll off the ground wire like a little BB, but it wouldn't melt the glob that i was trying to attach the wire to. |

a ground strap i had installed in the truck, trivial job for any soldering iron. No, not quite. The gauge on a ground strap is well beyond what any simple soldering iron would handle. Warming up THAT much metal for it to take the solder isn't gonna happen with a cordless job. I've got one of those 'cool heat' units and it works well for soldering something small like a 18-24ga wire. But it's not good for any sort of work requiring constant heat. the tool would melt a bead of solder which would promptly roll off the ground wire like a little BB, but it wouldn't melt the glob that i was trying to attach the wire to. Bad soldering techniques won't work with even the best of irons. |

Warming up THAT much metal for it to take the solder isn't gonna happen with a cordless job. maybe. the ground strap is a battery cable i installed that goes through the floor of the truck to the chassis, and the ground wire i was trying to attach was probably 10 or 12 gauge, i can't remember. i agree totally that the cool heat isn't powerful enough to handle it and is better for more of a 18-24 gauge wire type of job, or, like i said, circuit board work, as my melting one of the tools proves well. Bad soldering techniques won't work with even the best of irons. oh absolutely, i'm a moron who doesn't know the first thing about what he's doing, thanks for putting me in my place. cheers. |
