Customer Reviews

fantastic soldering iron
I got this to replace a cheap one. I am so glad I did. I had no idea that I was missing out on easier soldering! This is a great soldering iron. It heats up fast and I am very pleased. The base is nice to have as well.

Perfect for large solder joints
I purchased this iron to solder leads and ground wires to potentiometers, switches and output jacks on electric guitars and basses. It works perfectly for this type of solder job - but beware... do not use this for fine work or on items that require low temp solder joints. This baby gets very hot! I gave it 4 stars because the iron stand is nearly useless and cheap.

It works
This iron is NOT made for micro electronics. It is way too big and hot for ic chips, transistors, etc.

It is made for thicker metals such as 18 gauge wire, metal strips, etc... I only used it once, but it heated up quick and made short order of soldering the wires back unto an electric guitar plug socket.
