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?

Great kit/gun, very easy to set up, works really nice and allows you to hold a wire and solder without needing helping hands. The solder sucker that came with the kit is surprisingly very nice, it has a foam/rubberish grip and works very well, also comes with some picking tools as well. I am not sure if I trust the solder wire that comes with the kit though, I switched mine out with a high quality roll, for basic stuff I am sure it would be fine, but I didn't want to use it with expensive equipment. Overall a fantastic value.

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.

A really good looking and so far excellent functioning product! I was actually quite surprised that the solder feed works so well, the feed is ultra smooth and delivers the wire perfectly. No misfeeds or backlash at all. And the adjustable temperature is a great feature! I’d say that the only thing I’d like to see added to a new version would be a digital temperature readout, so you could precisely position the working temperature. Overall a wonderful new soldering gun at a heck of a great price compared to the competition. As far as durability only time will tell, but so far a bargain at twice the price! I might just order another one just to have a spare for projects away from home!

Solder constantly gets tangled up inside of gun, no matter how careful you are. Ended up using it just like you would a traditional soldering iron and holding the solder

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…

Excellent idea, not a good execution. Received mine to make my engines wiring harness a little easier to do. Heats up fine, but pulling the trigger does nothing. It will not feed the solder through. I have to manually push the solder through the gun to the solder tip.

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 work I 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 tips You 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

Makes saudering so much easier. Very easy to use.

Interesting product.

ok

Good for one handed work no fumbling with soldering wire

This thing's party trick is one handed soldering. And it does that. However I don't find the solder bonds I'm getting are as strong. And this is a soldering iron, so it's raging hot all the time. It's not like a gun where it only gets hot on demand. Maybe it's the solder they supply.... not sure. I'm just not thrilled with the results. Also, the solder kinda wanders around and doesn't always go to the proper spot.
