1. The old one was worthless.

2. This one can solder small wires, but no good for anything else....Not heavy enough for large wires, and will destroy components when soldering boards with normal 'active' components, like transistors and IC's.

3. Still a piece of junk. Get a real soldering iron if you need to solder.

lol just buy the original basic ones may take longer to heat up but their more reliable i got a basic one which works fine for £4 ($8)

@redpunk lol

@tramdr my highschool offered an ee program through a former student of ours, and they wanted us to use those things instead of real soldering irons.

mine caught on fire

@tramdr I agree entirely. I bought one when it first came out. Complete waste of money!

@Lokivoid I don't know why u take so much pride in this.. I just want the connection to look nice and clean

@AntDX316

"black tape" you mean electrical tape? As stated above not relevant to soldering it self. Both are for insolation, it is not ment to support the solder joints integrity.

[AntDX316]

@Lokivoid I move the heatsink tubing to the solder and heatshrink it instead of black tape which gets sticky and comes off

@AntDX316

Heatshrink tubeing is not for holding a joint togather, its for insolateing the joint from shorting and to protect agenst oxidization. Thus not relevant to the aspect of soldering nore is it relevant to my statement.

[AntDX316]

@Lokivoid but the wire will get hot and the heat shrink will adhere to the size of the wire and therefore I can't move it

@AntDX316

"problem with soldering irons is a lot of solder can stick to the tip and won't come off until it's on the wire" problem here is you dont solder with a iron by twisting wire onto the lead, you apply the iron to the lead let it heat thin touch the wire to the lead. If if your not getting good flow theres three things causeing it, #1 your iron is not hot enough, 2# you wire diameter is to big or is not the correct alloy for the job, #3 Use solder flux or cored solder

@Lokivoid like I twist some solder on.. then it automatically fully adheres to the wire.. problem with soldering irons is a lot of solder can stick to the tip and won't come off until it's on the wire.. so there's a bigger side.. in a heat shrink tubing situation where the tubing is just right.. that's a bad idea.. and it doesn't end up clean.. this is super quick and easy.. I'm not really sure why a lot of u hate it, it's amazing for wiring
