I thought I'd try this product since it seemed like a neat idea. What a mistake. For starters, the plastic latch tab on the molded plastic case broke immediately. I decided no big deal. A rubber band would do the trick there.
So, I got down to soldering a 24 awg stranded wire to a small solder pad on a circuit board. Frustrating experience. The tip, even though I applied really no pressure at all, chipped and eroded away ad the little spark fired off. At this rate, you'd go through $10 tips really... more info
terrible, terrible product:
This thing is horrible and doesn't work for anything. It won't heat up wires 1/16 diameter, and smaller wires loose thier heat before you can touch the solder to it. It won't even melt solder directly.
The white LED light turns off once it makes a connection with your work, so don't think it's going to be a good working light!
Waste of money Save Your Money!:
Don't buy this product.
Coleman has many good products; but what a shame to even sell this one.
Cons:
- too hard to use. Very frustrating. You almost need to be a surgeon to use this. I have to change the tip position all the time just to start the heating process.
- expensive for something that will likely end up on your next garage sale
- tip is too big
- has a warning that the tip breaks easily (because it sure does breaks easily)
Pros:
- wireless (But it... more info Great gift for xmas. But not how you'd think...:
If you haven't already, don't buy this thing, at any price, even steeply discounted. It is in all seriousness, absolutely worthless for it's intended purpose. For anyone without a little mad scientist in them, and doesn't know this already, if you run even a very little power across a graphite pencil lead, it gets very very hot, very very fast. This is basicly the principle on which this tool operates. The point is split in two, joined by a sliver of some no conductive material. And when the two sides are... more info
