Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / November 2007Ungar Soldering Iron
Hey Racer's, I am back into R/C Racing (both Nitro and Electric) and I need a 75-100 watt soldering iron. I bought a 75 watt "Weller" gun at Hame Depot and it just doesn't get hot enough. Where can I get one ? Tower doesn't have one in stock ANY SUGGESTIONS ?????? AS ALWAYS, Thanks ! ! ! ! Tim A. Deatherage tim@timdeatheragecpa.com www.timdeatheragecpa.com Soldering guns are bad news, use an iron. My $13 Weller 40 watt iron has enough beef to solder just about anything. If you need to solder battleship hulls, Weller also makes an 80 watt iron. FYI, I think Weller and Ungar are both Coopertools brands. > Hey Racer's, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > tim@timdeatheragecpa.com > www.timdeatheragecpa.com > Soldering guns are bad news, use an iron.

I have that same 40 watt Weller iron and it does the job very well. For the price you absolutely can't beat it.

A low-temperature iron (~700 deg or so) with a heavy, broad tip is best for batteries and power connections. The heavy tip holds heat, so the iron doesn't cool when you melt a big patch of solder. Rick R. Hey if you guys are looking for ANY kind of soldering tools, let me kno I work for a company that sells this stuff at a nice price. It's olde stock but really great quality. Tim A.
