Solders from very tiny connections to bigger cables. No static with this butane iron and fast in warming up. Also great for heat shrinking. This is a great soldering iron. I work in the industrial-electrical field and use this tool a few times every month.
Now if you solder something like once a year, this is not the iron for you because the price just isn't worth it for a yearly use. I would recommend this iron to ANYONE who does a good amount of soldering. The Weller Portasol PSI100K is probably the best butane iron I have used so far. The method of changing tips is great, and the heat shrink tip included is so helpful.
But after a year or two, it would not ignite, regardless as to how much butane was put into it. But I do know that I work out of a truck as an electronics technician and the change of seasons probably wrecked havoc on the ignitor.
My suggestion is to look at the SOLDERPRO 70. My supervisor has about 6 of these in a junk pile in the stockroom from my other coworkers.
I liked this portable soldering tool. I'm not certain.
This one needs only an external spark or an external flame to ignite. At first it worked.
Why.
