Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am giving this product 3 stars because of its poorly written instructions,
Besides the iron itself, the kit includes a 3/32" double flat soldering tip, a 3/16" double flat soldering tip, a 5/16" hot knife tapered to a point along one edge, and a hot air blower that can be used with an included air deflector for shrinking electrical heat shrink tubing. Also included is a small sponge for wiping the soldering tips, and a cylindrical tip cover. The tip cover has a projection which, when the cover is placed on the iron, holds the sliding butane on/off switch in the off position. Don't expect to find a parts list, or information on the cylindrical tip cover, anywhere in the instructions.
The instructions, however, do contain the obligatory identical instructions in French and Spanish. The instructions are written in such small print that it almost requires a magnifying glass to read them, particularly if one is over 55.
The iron itself does what it is designed to do. It heats very fast, about 15-20 seconds to solder-melting point temperature. Its maximum heat output is equivalent to 125 Watts (adjustable). For comparison, the heat output of its less expensive companion, the Weller 3PKC, lies in the 25-75 Watt range. I have used the 3/32" soldering tip and the air blower/heat deflector to solder and to shrink electrical tubing. It works fine.
All of the markings on the iron are in raised black symbols on a black background. Experience will teach which symbols stand for off and on.
The kit is made in Ireland, The instructions may have come from the darkest region of Tibet.
