Worst soldering toolFebruary 29, 2008 Catman(Salt Lake City, UT USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It just does not work. Very frustrating tool. I've done quite a bit of soldering building proto boards, soldering/desoldering IC sockets, small components and this thing just does not work well enough to make a single solder joint. Splicing two wires with this is impossible. Not enough heat. If you want a decent portable iron, get a resistive or gas powered unit.
