Soldering Iron Kit Electric Solder Guns Set 80W Precision Electronics Tools for Jewelry Making, Stained Glass, PCB Wire Repair, Adjustable 500-896°F, One-Handheld Automatic Send Tin Feed

I've had a soldering gun for the longest time which was heavy and awkward to use. One of those old "Weller" brands. I used a stick soldering iron for the last little while after finding out how light and easy to use it was. The problem was that it would take forever to heat up. This seems to be the best of both worlds with a bonus solder feed! It heats up fast and maintains the temperature. The iron is short so it's not awkward to use and it's not heavy unless you load up the entire spool of solder. I just take my solder and wrap it around a spent core just a few windings and it's enough to keep me going for several projects.The solder feeder is such a great help. I don't know why it took so long to invent something like this. It always seems like I need to be Vishnu to hold the components together along with the iron and finally the solder. Well, I'm not a god with many arms so I need all the help I can get. I already have a "helping hands" station which clips the various parts allowing my 2 only hands to hold the iron and feed the solder but often times this just isn't enough. Maybe the clips don't hold strong enough or I have to do something at a non-ideal angle. More light? Need to press it a bit? Whatever the reason, this helps. One handed soldering.. who knew?

Maybe I’m just happy that I saved myself $100 by being able to solder this most tedious push pin connection to a supermicro thin lead wire that was so short you couldn’t see it ..... by being able to only use one hand instead of two which I needed the other hand to angle my tweeter just right, I run across these situations more than just a few times where I need three hands and a mechanical holder just doesn’t workI know this gun works completely awesome heat really quick , I studied the internal mechanics briefly and it’s not so complex that it’s delicate it’s fairly simple , great design appears to be ABS plastic, from the wire wheel mount to the exit of the solder wire to the tip is a completely smooth transaction , a nice thin flexible cord (2 prong) is a thumbs up and it uses the common universal 900M tipsYou cannot go wrong with this unit even if you only use it once (as I’ve just demonstrated) I’ve used it frequently for a month now and nothing has changed, even using the original tip it came with, everyone needs one of these just in case

A spool of solder attached to a soldering iron is a good idea. It takes a little practice to use it. When feeding the solder, make sure not to go too fast. The solder will begin to bunch up behind the weld. Once you have the feed rate down, it's easy to use. I like the idea of not having to use two hands when soldering. Patience is the key.

Ive been teaching myself how to solder for a while now. I have purchased 4 different solder irons and have done fairly good with them. I decided to try this Solder Iron Gun and with this I am making perfect solders every time. I ordered a cheap tesla build yourself kit to practice on. And “wow” it’s Amazing how easy it was with this Iron. So needless to say I Highly Recommend this to anyone from a beginner to an expert. Ohh yea, I almost forgot to mention one of the best features, you can solder with one hand. Leaving the other had to hold your materials..Amazing…

For 25 bucks it does the job, however I’ve had to use pliers on it 3 times because the iron got stuck inside of it. Because it happens so frequently the side stays open.Putting the iron in is just feeding it through the ratchet & letting it do the rest of the work. But for a first time user this thing isn’t terrible.

I didn't know this style of iron existed. It has a fine point with a trigger solder feed. Trigger works well if you use the right size solder. I found the tin solder that came with the iron was harder to use than the 60/40 tin lead solder that melts at a lower temp and flows better. You need to buy 1mm or .04" solder to fit through the iron. You can buy generic replacement tips. It is a hot iron and it is nice to have temp control for electronic boards. I'm sure I will use this iron on many different projects.

Super frustrated with this. I guess I should have realized spending $20 on a soldering gun was just too cheap, but I thought I might get lucky because my $12 Chinese soldering iron has been working fine for years and years. It sure works better than this one!Big pain points:1. This thing jams solder instantly and clearing clogs is frustrating. Do yourself a favor and just leave the mechanism cover off because you'll be needing access to the feed gears multiple times per job.2. This thing just does not get hot enough. I can't get it to melt the solder it came with even at max settings (520 degrees C!!!). Mine might be defective.I regret buying this but have already lost bits and pieces during the struggle to make it work, so I don't know if I can get it all together to return it.

great product like that you do not have to hold the solder.
