(More customer reviews)As the picture on the box suggests, this tool is designed for cutting and punching through nylon rope and webbing. The knife attachment did a great job of making a clean, precision cut through a woven nylon strap. It was a bit slow, so I kicked in the Boot Heat and it worked like a charm. One of the other tools made a perfect hole through which I could pass a screw.
You do not want much more heat than this because the nylon will burn, melt excessively, and give off nasty fumes. I had been using my temperature controlled soldering iron for punching holes in nylon straps, but I was ruining my soldering iron tips.
Which brings me to this. Although this tool does get hot enough to melt solder, it is not a soldering iron. Sure, you can use this "in a pinch" for a one-time job. Any soldering iron which specifies watts instead of degrees is not made for the serious soldering of electronic components.
To solder electronic components, you want - no, you *need* a soldering iron which is temperature controlled to 700 degrees. Delicate components, 600 degrees. Connectors, heavy speaker wire, battery terminals, 800 degrees. Don't buy a cheap pencil type iron to solder on a regular basis because you will become disappointed and frustrated.
If you want to cut nylon webbing and nylon rope without fraying, or score plastic, this is the perfect tool. It leaves a clean, factory-looking edge on your repair work.
