Soldering Irons

A soldering iron is a hand-held tool that supplies heat through a heated metal tip enabling you to melt solder. Melting solder helps it flow into the joint between two pieces of work.
There are different powered soldering irons that have more flexibility than using a soldering gun.

Gas Soldering Iron

• Gas soldering irons are normally Butane fuelled
• They are useful for doing occasional repairs
• Cordless for when there is no mains power
• Reach into areas without a trailing power cord

Electric Soldering Irons

• Suitable for repetitive work
• Maintains consistent temperature
• Heating is often achieved electrically, by passing an electric current supplied through an electrical cord

Battery Soldering Irons

• Battery operated
• Quick to set up
• Cordless
• Portable

Typical uses
Soldering irons are used in a variety of applications such as pyrography, in electronics assembly, in workshops, repairing components and for many DIY projects.
