Well done Pete ! We are happy to have you on board.

[@Everlong420]

How does this video not have more views? Definitely the best solder maintenance video I’ve seen.

[@timothytapsell]

good video. But why do they need two people? I think the man who spoke was enough no?

[@JoeNathan42420]

I'll tell you why. Have you ever saw someone's soldering iron?? They're all trash lol I swear I tell a friend of mine how to take care of his iron everytime I see him 😂

[@JoeNathan42420]

@Maison Hassan yeah, nah.. we don't care about how to hack into someone's IG. I respect your hussle tho

Take a shot every time you hear oxidation

[@Ollyburl1ngo]

😂😂😂, searched the comments for one like this! 😂😂👊

[@jeremywiest7597]

Great video! Pete knows what he’s taking about. I picked up a few tips I didn’t know. Thank you. I just wish there were some close up shots.

[@Sanjay-eb6fe]

The pointed end of my soldering iron tips have always got eaten away gradually over time. And now I understand that it is primarily due to the heat and oxidation. Thanks a lot for sharing this information.

[@MayurPanghaal]

Good insight into the nitty gritty of soldering iron.First time i heard about all these things.Thx from India.

[@Ivan-iu7xf]

Super informative 👌 Thank you so much

[@gordonburchell4337]

I solder everyday and was going through some tips kept thinking why won't this solder stick to the tip just kept beading up and causing troubles I think my biggest problem was not tinning it in between and would leave the iron running while doing stuff thnx great video

[@warplanner8852]

Without fail, I violate EVERY RULE laid down here but have tips that have lasted years and look like they came out of the factory.

[@LalaDeil]

I'm watching this video 7 years later... I wonder how's Pete doing.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Thanks.

[@cchemmes-seeseeart3948]

This video left me with questions. If you are doing metal work soldering, that uses solder with no flux, & has separate acid flux, then how do you go about this? This video spoke of letting the flux from the wire core clean the tip. I trust the expert totally; I just hope for more details, for different types of soldering. I just heard to not put acid flux on the soldering tip? (I esp have in mind lead free solder as well, with high percentage tin... or Weller new solder that has nickel in it? to tin the tip?)

[@glendastride3891]

I have a Welles w100p for stained glass. Can I use a temperature controller. I find it gets to hot.

[@nidusa1]

hi, please clarify in your video you are showing 500 F and not 500 C since it's not visible on the video. new people might crank their Celsius way up which is not a good idea. 500 F is only 260 C (low temperature)

[@Sanjay-eb6fe]

Thanks for pointing that out.

[@roahnosh]

Good 👍

[@BlackOilyMenKissing]

its surely imperial freedom units (F) since they are american 🤮🤮🤮

[@inanutshell6533]

I use filtered drinking tap water, is that fine?

[@caluesenpai4986]

great. you should have shown it while facing in the camera

[@yavanplayz8409]

I am watching this in school for a door alarm project

[@_mylastname]

So, is oxidation the reason my tips kept falling to pieces?

[@ananthanarayana5768]

Hi, i purchased this wes51 and with min use it became out of order, the red led lits continuously no heat, can you please send the the details of heater element ohms and sensor ohms resistance so that i could able to check the iron element continuty and sensor reading and if it matches with your resistance reading i can check inside the controller unit. Just send me the wes51 iron 5 pin heater element and sensor resistance in ohms to check the iron first.

[@MJ-vk3et]

Can't Find any instructions in Weller WSB25HK 25-Watt nor KZbin/online how to swap the tip!

[@bacaw2856]

We sure needed the music and the woman sitting there throughout the whole time... Certainly couldn't have done without

[@ah6352]

To be honest we didn't need your worthless comment as well.

[@FareedKhan-td8eo]

We dont have that multi functional soldering station and accessories here in Pakistan, if we manage to find a good store selling it, they worth more than my kidney 😭😭😭

[@Angel-rf2dg]

I'll send you some. Do you have usps? Whats your nearest shipping company

[@kennethcrane796]

My Weller woodbruning pen coil come apart

[@warplanner8852]

Well, put it back together!

[@TheGuidedSharpeningGuide]

You would take my we1010na back from me if you seen my tip lol. But it still works great.

[@trinitytwo14992]

why do these good information videos always have horrible music playing?

[@jesussavesrick]

The instruction manual you get with the device is total bullshit. This video is the only decent instruction that I can find.

[@_mylastname]

anyone know why my solder was turning into mozzarella cheese? Not sure what to compare it to, but it didn't turn into liquid, and my tips crumbled. I was at around 300-350°C

[@theimprovisedmanfriends204]

I still haven't managed to make the solder turn into silver blobs and the metal of my iron has gone all rainbow coloured, oops!

[@flyerh]

Why is there a silent L in American for Solder?

[@whitey4986]

It is incredible watching an expert not being able to say the name of the activity he's doing correctly 😂

[@trnod]

1:45 ... phuuuh... she agrees, so then we know it's true...

[@gus8378]

It's a little unsettling that the director is trying to get shots without eye contact

[@mirzaiscandle]

mine is squeaking

[@mirzaiscandle]

i guess mine is too late

[@arthurpendragon7224]

It's not SODERING but "soldering" there is a L in solder.

[@BlackOilyMenKissing]

L is silent in soldering btw (Well in 'murican🤮 english)
