I've run my own company for 21 years as a cabinetmaker and finish carpenter. I tell my clients that the most important thing of all is that they are happy with the job. If they are not, I make it right, even if it's costs me some time and money. It's a good business philosophy IMO. Oh, and I'm gonna pick up the torch as well. I have some Lexivon torx and e-torx sockets and they are solid.

[@Chulak_It]

Nice review, good thing you showed the 'big brother' torch as it's what I'm going to buy. Thanks!

[@lukaszz.711]

Thanks for your revue, I was planing to buy dremel but after your revue I have decided to ordered one of Lexivon !!! Waiting for delivery now.

[@QSSCEO]

My trusty old Weller Butane died....Saw this brand on Amazon and searched KZbin. This video convinced me to buy one...Great informative Video !

[@BeamNSLWD]

bought one because of this, great video!

[@andygleysteen618]

you've convinced me to buy the LX-770! thank you

[@vonovine]

Bought on your recommendation & it is great! Thanks👍

[@THECHAMUKO13]

Awesome review 👍, I'm buying mine right now thanks

[@tmc.318]

I also am impressed with Lexivon. I bought 3 sizes of torque wrenches and this soldering torch. All seem to work very well and reasonably priced. Very happy. They are now my preferred tool company.

[@blessingsara11]

Cool! I was going to buy Dremel tho' in my country is REALLY expensive, but I will try the Lexivon. I really like humble companies who fix their mistakes. not to mention this review was all I needed. Thank you!

[@vegaf2011]

I bought one before watching this video 😅 so I came here to watch a video of what I purchased 😎 glad I made the move 🤟🏻

[@burndog12131]

I did the same. LOL I read a lot of reviews on Amazon before I buy something.

[@captaingyro3912]

Excellent review. I have the LX-771 and I concur, it's a quality tool from a good company. I hope their business takes off, and this review should help.

[@AntonioLopez-rm3co]

Great review and great comments. I actually look this up because my kit arrived without instructions, but with all the info I'm not going to need them. I've used the tool and agree that it's a great addition to my tool box. Kudos! and I've subscribed.

[@georgebrinton9884]

I would like to see you make a video showing. How are you use the Lexivon Butane Soldering Iron

[@darrylm79]

Hey. I was going between the LX-770 and the Power Probe Micro Torch. I saw your review on the 770 and thought it was cool, but wished it had the handle like the Power Probe unit. Thank goodness I watched your whole video to find out that the 771 has the handle. So, I removed the 770 and the PP from my cart and I ordered this one. Thanks for the review!!

[@colemine7008]

thank you, I was looking for a comparison between their two models

[@marcusharmon8389]

I've got the first one you showed and it's awesome 😂😂

[@kodadoge1559]

Such a great video. I went ahead and used your link to order the bundle from the Amazon store. Looking forward to receiving this tomorrow. Both of my SnapOn butane soldering guns are failures. One of them is new and fired one time and won’t again with either tip. It’s a YAKS42 and I’m sorry I bought it.

[@joaquinmendoza1127]

Hello, i am glad to have been able to see your video. I am in no way any type of sodering person, but wanted to try to fix something that broke, and was looking into getting a torch like this. I will definitely order one of these and will be happy to see more of your videos to learn how else i can use it now that i will own one. Thanks for the video.

[@KYGYoga]

Great review..thanks much. This helped me make my decision to buy Lexivon

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it and I'm sure Lexivon does also. 😁

[@pocdabeno1974]

I was on the fence about what portable torch to buy after using a co-workers weller, but the high price of the weller made me search for an alternative. You’re review of this torch convinced me to get it. Thank you.

You're very welcome and I wish you the best with it. I use mine almost weekly, especially with my 3d printer.

[@davidweeks1997]

Thanks for the head's up. I'm going to try the pencil, and I might later get the bigger one. I've still got a larger torch, though it is pretty old and due for a replacement.

I agree wholeheartedly about how good Lexivon customer service is. I just purchased the LX-770. I had some questions, and they were answered within a couple of hours...on a weekend!

[@CandorPerlicious]

Yeah sounds about right.

[@laz0rama]

I got the 770 a few years ago, and it was not working well. When I contacted lexivon about it, they immediately sent me a replacement. I concur, the company is great, they care about customer service and keeping their customers happy. A+ to lexivon.

[@nowthenad3286]

Great review. Thanks. I would certainly like to see them in action. Other than the tank size and the shape, is there any difference in performance between the two (iron and torch)? Do they both give off the same flame and heat?

[@ryanrepairs6944]

@@CandorPerlicious thanks fella

[@vernongillispiesr6093]

I liked your video. Just bought this tool for pyography and other uses. Would love to see how the various tips are applied and used.

[@CandorPerlicious]

I wish you the best with your purchase. The tips themselves can be used in any way you can think of. Primarily the pointy ones are designed for soldering, whole the blade one was designed for cutting. However they can be used to burn, melt or draw as you feel fit. I'm considering making a new video on how I myself use the torch. I'm waiting for a few things to arrive in the mail but with current conditions some of these things aren't going to be here for another 2 months

[@wanesweb]

I liked your video I was looking to see how you refill these I know it's probably simple probably like a lighter but I want to see but also like to see you using it so yes make another video thank you

[@CandorPerlicious]

I've been considering doing just that. Unfortunately I've not had a whole lot of time to myself lately. But you bring up a good point about filling. And you are correct, it's just like filling a lighter.

[@chadwickhayes8260]

I just bought the pen one on Amazon half way through your video had to cancel it and get the big boy

[@georgebrinton9884]

I would like to see you make a video showing how you use the Lexivon Butane Soldering Iron

[@CandorPerlicious]

I've had a few requests for that and I think I'm going to do that at the moment my life is rather hectic with personal issues at home and a new kitten that REFUSES to let me film anything lol... Y'all might see him in future videos.

[@observer6179]

Great video. Just received my LX-771 from Amazon and when ordering, didn't pay close enough attention to the butane fuel type until I was reading the directions. 1 user on KZbin uses regular Ronson fuel, which is not recommended and swears he's never had a problem with clogging. What your experience in this area and what would you recommend. Where I live everybody sells the Ronson Multi-Fill Ultra Butane Fuel which has no specs. Thanks again.

[@CandorPerlicious]

In my opinion Ronson fuel is ok for lighters and similar. I wouldn't recommend it for something that I would expect to have consistent flame properties over a long time. As you indicated, Ronson doesn't really have any specs so it's not easy to tell how well it's filtered. In the video description text you will find the recommended fuels, which were recommended to me by Lexivon. They actually use some of the ones I've listed. Other than fiddling with getting the right tip adapter that I felt comfortable with, I've not had an issue so far. Perhaps a bit more expensive than Ronson but I'm getting good results with the ones listed. Hope that helps.

[@rikityrik]

Just bought the LX-771 and received it yesterday. Just opened it up and I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality, very nice! Decided to see if anyone had done a video for it which brings me here. Very good review, sir. I've only soldered a few times so I don't know much about it. But from looking at what's on the market, this was a choice well made. My next choice would have been the ‘Dremel Versa Flame’ version which is around ten dollars more. But even at that, I like this one more.

[@CandorPerlicious]

It makes me happy to see people get something well built and of value for a good price. I use mine all the time especially for cleaning my 3D printer nozzles and heater blocks.

[@benniewilliams2019]

Great video! I feel in love with the LX-771 and will place my order! How do you rate the butane vs battery cordless irons for general small electrical soldering, if you don't mind commenting?

[@CandorPerlicious]

My reply would be that I have no issues with battery powered irons, especially a week made one. I am considering one myself for times when I need to make a quick LIGHT electronics repair. The butane soldering torch, while convenient, is more suited for heavier solder jobs such as working on thicker gauge truck/trailer or tv and similar tires of work. Whole the butane works with smaller projects it can be cumbersome sometimes as they are usually bigger, fatter and have less precise heat control but may offer longer working times between fillings. That being said I would consider both a welcome addition to my tool box. I think they both have their own niche to fill.

[@CandorPerlicious]

I should have said a WELL MADE ONE in reference to the battery solder iron. 😜

[@unionse7en]

modeling clay,polymnorph,3d print, block of wood etc for a base

[@tech29X]

Would like to see you soldering an electronic component with the LX770. Are you able to keep temperatures reasonably low for delicate work? Do you feel if you fill the canister half the amount of fuel you'd be able to keep heat lower when set at lowest setting?

[@CandorPerlicious]

Not the first request for that and I might do that in the future. I don't normally use it for delicate soldering, unless I have to since I have a nice solder station. I do use it for bigger things such as xt60 connectors, 14 gauge or bigger wire splicing, repairing wires on cars, boats and such.I use it more for a portable torch than soldering. But to answer your other question: it's not difficult to control the heat but I still think it's a bit warmer than it needs to be on low for delicate work and obviously no real way of knowing what the tip temperature is. Being half full doesn't seem to effect it much even when using it as a torch. When you do notice the flame getting weaker you're pretty much at the end of the tank. I also have the bigger brother which is more of a stand-up torch and use it as either a torch or with the heat gun attachment for heat shrink tubing.

[@tech29X]

@@CandorPerlicious Thanks, couple hours ago I received my shipment of LX770 and found out the hard way ;-) The unit is well built, but the iron is too hot for delicate electronics work and impossible to keep the tip temperature consistent for transistor soldering. I wanted a compact portable iron and avoid the battery operated stuff but failed miserably.

[@carlosgraphic]

Question. If you put the pencil style with full flame looking down (straigh to floor) does it act weird and shut it off? My butane works o.k but it makes that. I don't know if it normal or an issue of the butane gas. I'm using benzomatic butane. It is supposed to be 3 times refine. Thank you.

[@CandorPerlicious]

Pointing the torch straight down will cause issues such as that. The reason being is once you have inverted it you run the risk of pushing liquid butane out the nozzle. The other thing that could cause something of that nature would be especially after it's just been filled, is the pressure is quite high still and you may need to reduce your flame until the pressure equalizes in the tank.

[@carlosgraphic]

@@CandorPerlicious Tha's makes senses. Thank you for replying.

[@JezmondoMisterfull]

I was considering the blow torch over the soldering but I do more electronics than blow torch work. Is it everything you would need from a soldering iron? It would be handy to have a blow torch option in my tool kit, as you never know? Great review, I'm sold on the iron, possibly the blow torch? Thanks.

[@CandorPerlicious]

It comes with a couple of soldering tips, solder and a sponge for cleaning the tips. Other than a good flux you are ready to go.

[@JezmondoMisterfull]

@@CandorPerlicious and then I could make a creme brule too 😂. Its £30 in the UK, which is around $45 give or take. Free postage from Amazon.... Thank you mate, excellent info.

[@richardjoseph4546]

Great review! I bought the 771 and proceeded to use it without the instruction book in the box. I complained about the unit flaming out and they did not hesitate to send me a completely new unit. Had I explained that there wasn't a booklet in the package, perhaps they would just send one. You're right. The quality is good and the price is right! I too will look to buy their products as I need them! BTW - Can 6 gauge bare copper wire be soldered to steel re-bar?

[@happyman4914]

Hi, neat little soldering torch, I would like to get one of those soon. I was reading the specifications on Amazon and it says that the metal tank is refillable. That brought 2 questions to my head: 1: - how do you refill the tank? 2: - can the butane fuel be replaced with propane? Please excuse my ignorance in this matter!☹️

[@CandorPerlicious]

The answers to your questions are as follows. 1) simply buy refillable butane cans like the ones used to fill any good cigarette lighter or refillable torch. In the video description you will find links to several compatible butane cans. 2) As far as filling with propane, there are no propane cans that I am aware of that would work with these. If there is some kind of an adapter, and I am aware of none, that would convert a standard propane torch bottle then I guess it could work but I'm not familiar enough with the pressure inside a propane bottle to know if it is too high to cause damage to the valve. I hope that answers your questions.

[@happyman4914]

Mine hisses a bit more than I think should. Other than that I think it’s great

[@snowballz4suzie725]

Candor, it is Your presentation that has provided the perspective and information for me to feel confident in the purchase of this tool, the LX771. After watching a number of other presentations of various offerings, it occurred to me that the price range of offerings reflects the arbitrary categories of lighter grade, kitchen grade, and tool grade. I cannot feel safe with lesser quality construction of cheaper price points, seeing that butane leakage will ignite when the unit is in use I want This Tool. Even the 80 dollar vanity units don't offer what This Tool does. The click of the igniter sounds like quality engineering. However, my primary concern is that the flame Must Go Out if I lose grip of the Tool. Two other product offerings I viewed which possessed that feature, do not exhibit the manufacturing quality of This Unit. Your story relating LEXIVON's prompt action towards remedy has alleviated my concern over potential buyer's remorse. Thank you. PS:. That antagonist can take a hike.

[@CandorPerlicious]

WOW, thank you for your kind words. I am so happy that what I have been able to do provided you and others with proper information and allowed everyone to make an informed decision. I wish you the best of luck with your purchase.

[@Ali-uv3dz]

Its still works ?

[@moomoopuppy508]

I've had Weller pyropens that would end up not working after a while.

[@CandorPerlicious]

And that's such a shame since Weller is usually a reliable and dependable name in soldering equipment.

[@dyvel]

That one looks identical to the Dremel versatip. Have you tried that one?

[@CandorPerlicious]

No I haven't. While it does look almost identical there are a few tiny cosmetic differences. As to internals, I can't say how similar they are. The Dremel was on my list of considerations but when I saw the price difference of the Lexivon, I chose that one.

[@dyvel]

@@CandorPerlicious that Dremel is about 40 US dollars in Sweden, so I wonder if they dumbed it down for the Swedish market. The lexivon isn't available here unfortunately. It looks like the lexivon has slightly better assortment of tips though. Why do you think the standing version is a better fit for you? Do they produce the same heat ghost on the top and the lower ends of the adjustment scale?

[@dankollars4501]

are you still liking this torch? i see a lot of complaints about the unit not working right and not igniting.

[@CandorPerlicious]

Yes I still am using this. I just used it the other day and have had no issues with it lighting. They do come with a lifetime warranty so if you should happen to get one that doesn't or stops working they will send you a replacement.

[@jordanh.2912]

My Dad just bought one for me and it works great, used it to repair the wires to the license plate lights. Did you have trouble at first getting it to ignite? It lights now just fine but when first testing it we had to click the trigger quite a lot until we could use it, this happened several times.

[@CandorPerlicious]

I'm really sorry for the late delay in responding. But no actually I did not have an issue with it. from what I understand though if you get one that is completely and totally empty it might take a moment for it to start flowing properly. The way I usually ignite them is by turning the fuel on to low letting it run for a second or two and then ramping it up to a little bit more than halfway before igniting.

[@benniewilliams2019]

@@CandorPerlicious It is called 'bleeding' the system, a common phenomenon in the hydraulic physics of a gas/fluid thru a tube/plumbing delivery system! I also suggest you rotate the device up, down and all around (at low setting) to allow the tiny air bubbles (air locks) in the tubing to escape!

[@rubybrady7051]

Good company

[@Mark_B544]

So does the bigger one solder too?

[@CandorPerlicious]

Many apologies for not following up on this as you're not the only one asking this. Yes the bigger one does everything the smaller one does only it's bigger, stands up on its own and is slightly hotter than the pencil style.

[@schlomoshekelstein908]

i have one of these butane soldering irons and i can never get good work out of it, it seems like the tip gets too hot too fast and burns the hell out of everything

[@CandorPerlicious]

What type of work are you trying to do with it? I use it to solder 18 gauge wire and thinner sometimes.

[@CandorPerlicious]

There is another KZbinr with a channel Finite Tuning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pILJnmmEiJaBeKs that also reviewed this torch. Take a look and see what he has to say about it also.

[@lbahr11]

I have one, the only problem with mine is that it is very inconsistent when it comes to lighting. You have to click it 4 or 5 times to finally get it to light. To me that’s very aggravating. I had a Master appliance brand that I paid about three times what I did for this one. But it seems like I was sending it back to Master Appliance every year for repairs. That got extremely expensive. Lexivon is definitely a better product for way less money.

[@rafaeltorre1643]

This happens to all torches. Butane right? Piezoelectric? It’s because the igniter wire is slightly off and typically user error unless new. But it happens because it’s hard not to accidentally touch or move it. Easy fix though.

[@chauffeurmarco]

At 1:30. I bought this one and on my first time, it melt. And it’s not the tank that melt but the plastic closed to the burner. Can’t leave this one to long. $60 in the drain

[@CandorPerlicious]

Marco are you saying you bought one of the torches I showed at the 1:30 into the video and it melted? I hope you didn't get injured. I am Soooo glad I didn't buy one of those. The ones I showed were ones I had considered buying until I found the Lexivon one. Remember everyone, Lexivon has a lifetime warranty on so their tools IF something should go wrong.

[@chauffeurmarco]

@@CandorPerlicious yeah and I was very disappointed because it was on the first time. It’s not the tank you have to worry but the plastic that is close to the burning metal. The plastic is tough and will not crack if you drop it but will melt if to close of heat. It’s sad because the mechanism is good.

[@theMekanik]

It looks like a Dremel Butane Iron

[@mr.sparkle6020]

Lets see a video of them in action.

[@CandorPerlicious]

I will put that idea in the highly possible list

[@tonik1222]

This and the Dremel VersaTip seem exactly the same.

[@CandorPerlicious]

While the do look almost identical they are not. The Dremel has more of a coned bottom so the bottom of the tank has a narrower surface to stand upright. As for any of the internal components I can't say exactly if they are the same or just similar looking. Also, for, as you put it, an identical looking item, the Lexivon is still around $20 cheaper in price.

Yeah I know 🥺 however I now have a much nicer silicone electronics pad with storage compartments and various magnetic areas and numbered screw slots😂

[@RetroPinUpRockZ]

Looks almost identical to the Dremel Versatip... all the same components and identical in shape

[@CandorPerlicious]

Another commenter said the same thing. And I will admit they look similar there are differences. The Dremel had more of a coned bottom so I don't think it's as stable in the upright position. As for the internals I can't speak for the Dremel. However the Lexivon is considerably cheaper.

[@jodamn5078]

LOL personal preference on plastic fuel tanks but after watching you slam things down drop things I would say you need to stick with metal I've had a RadioShack plastic one for the better part of twenty years but of course I'm not abusing it it's all in the filtered butane that causes problems and when it does have a problem it's also a easy fix

[@benjamintoms-lucy9339]

So they are paying you

[@CandorPerlicious]

No they are not paying me. I merely get to keep what they send me for review. And while it is technically considered compensation, which I make clear in my videos, I also made it very clear to them that I wasn't going to sugar coat or give them reviews that were not warranted. I just happened to really come to like the tool line and have continued to do reviews when possible. I get to keep the tools regardless of good or bad reviews, should they ever happen. So far I have been happy with them and they have even come in handy recently for a few projects and they performed very well.

I don't think we should disregard the fact that a company did what was right, fixed the issue.

@@keithduffield5239 no what I'm saying is that Lexivon tools are all made in Taiwan unlike other manufacturers as you say which have them assembled or buy most of the parts overseas in China. However it might be they get some tips from the same place as Dremel but that I can't say for sure.

If it were not for the fact it was defective out of the box on first fire up I might be inclined to agree on some level with that statement.
