Thanks to you Just got one, love it to pieces. nice to finally get rid of the cord, done messing around with butane I'm running a 6 amp hour m12

Thanks a lot for your review, you helped me decide to get one !

Tip: conical tips are bad for even heat distribution. That's why you struggle with lead free solder. Use flat or chisel tips, tin the tip and use the melted solder to transfer heat into the wire.

Im on my 3rd one now. I never abuse them, but they have all suffered a thermal fuse failure. The last fuse I changed myself, which were £3 for 4, rated at 152c.

Good Review. I have been using an Iroda Solderpro gas iron which I love. For me the iron seems a bit big for the smaller work I do out in the field. Thanks for showing real world heating examples.

Are you saying "tint"...?
Its "tinned", you tin the wire

Sweet soldering iron, love the stability on the big battery base

[noelcasey]

Very good demo ! I normally use the larger soldering tip unless I’m soldering onto circuit boards.
Unfortunately I’ve had two failed devices in the last few months.
The iron starts up, showing the battery status, then switching to green.
And that’s it. It doesn’t heat up.
The 152 degree / 240 volt / 15 5 thermal fuse was blown.
Easy enough to replace.

Looking at getting a soldering iron for basic repairs on cars and other vehicles, would you recommend this?

[daniel]

I had one and returned it .. I use it for leds lights and it was a struggle since the tip didn’t get hot enough I would had to tap on the lower when soldering.. 😢

i started like 4 months ago doing Av work and i was told i will soon solder some cables to terminate them into speakers. I wanted to see if the tool was worth it but i’ve seen across many videos the tool was worth it but you have to know how to use it in order to prolong the span-life of the tool

Great review! Looking to buy this bad boy rather than running a lead for my 240v every time 👍

[paulchapman]

I bought one to replace my gas weller soldering iron , it’s brilliant, 6ah batteries make it stand up

[tomb]

I used mine everyday for three years, the fuse went and I replaced it two years ago it was worth what I paid for it in Canada $90

[markwilliscroft]

Great video once again, Specially like the way you test tools in a real world application gives a much more honest review

[tizzy_Ty]

A lot of bad reviews of it melting n flashing green light but not turning on

[chrisfyfe]

I use one, every now and then . Much safer than gas .

[andymorin]

get a pinecil instead they're awesome!

[nickkk]

I love mine, it works super well, I am hesitant with the many users who had a melted plastic coupling, this has been a non issue for me thus far, but functionally it works fantastically and super quick

[M.E]

Rubbish old technology, way too chunky, better getting a iron with heating element in the tip and that can run off powerbank

[officialWWM]

It’s so expensive. But I’m still gonna but one.
