As you realized, fuel-based soldering irons are ready to go in a couple seconds flat! If precise heat isn't a concern they're WAY better than electric irons. Even at the highest temps it's ready to go from cold to useable in literal seconds. *A tip for new fuel-based soldering iron users:* These are great for "rough" work! Wire connections on the car, tractor, etc. They hold their heat very well, too, so a burst on high every little bit will be enough heat to get the job done. You don't necessarily have to leave it cranked the entire time. This can save a ton on butane instead of having the flame burning continuously. Further, try not to start the iron up on the highest setting. Like anything else, heat it up for a sec. Give it a sec on low and the same up until the heat-level you want. This will keep it in working order for a lot longer. Not necessary but it helps. Finally, these irons really aren't for long, delicate electronic work (motherboards, etc). You can use it for that but you'll chew through the butane in no time if working on anything more than a few components. If that kind of work is your priority, get an electric iron. Trust me. These are really made for field work, those that need a wireless soldering solution. It *CAN* do other things but it's basically made for field repair. Know that going in to save money for yourself before being dissatisfied with it or buying a super-power electric iron that is a bit overkill for the job you're doing.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Good information Danny thanks for the comment.

[@craftymulligar]

May be the battery one is OK for small stuff. Need to try out the tool battery versions however that is adjustable.

[@vasekvi]

I have never soldered before but I went to home depot and picked this up with the butane a few days ago because there are a few connections in my cars I want to redo properly with solder instead of the quick splices I have on them. Thank you for this video. I searched for this Bernzomatic soldering iron on KZbin to see a hands on and found your video. Wish me luck.

[@RubenFletcher]

I absolutely love my gas soldering iron. Makes for an easy burning tool for leather and woodworking as well.

[@MJ-vn5nu]

Thank you Kevin this video showed me how to properly set mine up and properly use it

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching MJ.

[@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR]

Thanks for taking the time to show the soldering iron. I was thinking about getting one from Lowe's to solder some wires on an old VW bus thats parked too far from an electrical source... Now that I see it actually works, I'll go get one. Thanks!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think it will come handy.

[@ronsites2694]

Looks like it heats fast, that is what I most dislike about an electric iron. Thanks for the video.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Using them every day for years I found the "Weller" without the spark start to be the very best. Let's hope this one will serve you well. A quality butane is really important as well. Having spare tips is important too as ea one has a catalytic converter in them and they do wear\burn out.

[@fixman88]

Are you talking about one of the Pyropens?

[@TomokosEnterprize]

@@fixman88 Yes. Mine is nearing 20 years old and works like the day I first gave its first light. They have a different character of them. I like mine as the simple start and stops are better than the auto light that quits in time. Fewer parts and keeping it simple is the way to go eh.

[@ThePwcj]

They do a good job, from what I have seen. Thank you and take care... Paul.

Thanks Paul.

[@martinoamello3017]

I bought the slightly cheaper model with no attachments, but it works great. I was always of the opinion that I had to hold the butane bottle on the target object far too long until my fingers were frozen to it. Obviously I was wrong. It only takes a second or two. Thanks.

[@goofmonkey7325]

I just got this one for one of my projects

How is working out ?I've been sick sorry for the late reply

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Me to great tool thanks for the comment.

[@Slydertek]

I've had one of those for more than 10 years now and I can say that it does everything it was meant for. I recently bought another one because my old one gave up. I paid 12$ CAD for the kit, 4$ CAD for the butane. It's smaller than yours for sure, but came with different tips and at that price it's a really good bang for the buck. The only downside I've found with those kits is that they run out of fuel pretty fast. The holding thank is pretty small and it last for about 8-10 minutes at full blast. For small jobs in the woods it sure helps a lot. Working all day long with this, I'm not that sure about it. It sure is a essential tool too have, specially for the mini-torch tip and interestingly the curved shape one would be really good for shrink wrap. I use "hot tip" for that, but that one could help. Thanks for the video and enjoy your new tool!

[@soburnedout]

Someone may have answered already I didn’t want to go through all of them. The blue switch is actually a built-in stand. It is positioned forward enough to allow the iron to sit with the tip up when not in use. Be sure all holes are oriented AWAY from the surface

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the information.

Chad, it's a little old but i did eventually figure it out.

[@chadchism7628]

@@Robinson-Homestead ok ,i went and bought pretty much on your vid,and it didnt show the date on my phone,but ive only ever commented like twice in ten years. And then i end up pretty much watching videos on what ever im working on at the time. And you seem very knowledgeable, im a automotive tech turned programmer who is amazed by soldering ,especially on printed circuts. Im fixing a ps4 with the blue light of death. And thanks for doing what you do, so others can learn. And I didnt mean that in any bad way, I think you are ery smart, I just know the world we live in now you can compliment some and they take it wrong. But again thanks and great job!

[@mten8965]

👍😎

[@Pinkielover]

Just go to their website for The actual instructions... That one tip is actually a shield for the blowing part of the iron,, Because yes it's basically a blow torch there's actually a flame in it... When you use that shield tip it protects From lighting things on fire specially if you're around under A dashboard and there's other wires nearby

[@fixman88]

This may sound like a silly question, but when you're refilling it how much pressure do you apply? I keep trying to fill mine and every time I do it leaks a LOT from the refill canister and drips all over the place; I push it down as far as I can.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Just make sure it's

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It's straight when you put it in

[@therealfabuliz]

The starter doubles as a stand. I was wondering about that at first as well

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you.

[@mickyashey9818]

The Trigger is the stand!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks.

[@dillonbear415]

I went and put the butane in and it's just constantly hissing from the valve

[@DavidBeckwitt]

same issue

[@dharmakissoon]

do anybody know how to hack this thing to a continuous line to the tank or better yet a plumbers tank? seems to be a good thought, tired of constant refilling it.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I know what you mean good idea.

[@reasonandjusticeinamerica7391]

you'd need a regulator on it from the tank so you didn't feed it high pressure. You'd need to find out the connectors and connect a regulator on the tank end and get like a 6 or 8 ft hose. Just figure out the max PSI on those little butane bottles and set your psi output to that or slightly less.

[@minivinny48]

I got one of these one time, but I could never get mine to light off. So I never got mine to work. It was filled with the same gas and I could see the spark on the ignition but never got mine to work

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Should have took it back and got another one.

[@craftymulligar]

Thought the switch on it was the stand. Thats what i used it for.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think it is it works thanks for the comment.

i just got one of these, when i try to refill the butane, it sprays all over the place... any advice? Thanks.

[@guntenshi3268]

Can I use any butane here? because I can't find any Bernzomatic's butane products.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I would think so butane is butane.

[@DannyWilliamH]

@@Robinson-Homestead Yes. I used my Bernzomatic can pretty quickly and used zippo brand with no difference. I happen to have the EXACT setup as in the video. It was a gift and it's the exact package and can and everything. It'll last a while if you don't do what I did and really crank it for a few hours. I just wanted to test it out and it's a great little iron but it eats fuel pretty quick if you burn it on max like I did (duh). But yeah, any brand will do.

There's a lock on the back of the solder iron that says 'off' and 'cont' Once you ignite the torch flick your index finger over the back switch to the 'cont' position it'll lock

He should at least look like he knows what he's doing. This is a tutorial, so he should at least become familiar with the item and the accessories. He just wings it.
