Overall I have put this as good because it gets hot enough to melt the solder and stays hot without having to keep a fierce flame on the tip holder, it feels cumbersome at first but you get used to it really quickly so after couple of soldering tests, you dont notice the size of it so much. The tank lasted a good hour and a half with the burner being turned up and down as needed, but always lit. The only downside that kept the last star in its review is the control for flame size, its a bit hit & miss at first and whilst soldering sometimes the weight of the unitand the way you hold it you can find yourself turning the flame up or down without intent as you adjust your fingers as you are holding the iron. Am I happy with it, yes. Would I recommend it, yes with the caveat that the flame control could be improved.Read full review

It's too lightweight and therefore considered unsafe. The large spring to house the iron is of the wrong design and should be a simple metal cone as it's so annoyingly easy to 'park' the tip of the iron through the spring coil. The cleaning sponge is a postage size joke!

Works fine unless you get a nozzle blockage if you do blow back with gas as instructions do not poke anything into the nozzle the orifice is so fine. If you do need to unscrew nozzle take care not to loose orifice plate which is very thin & light I did. The other information missing from instructions is how to use the soldering iron part .1 turn on and ignite to heat catalyst ,2 turn jet quickly off & on so gas blows onto catalyst this will glow to heat iron.

Just about perfect for my needs, my hobby is leathercraft, and everything from finishing off sewing thread, to heating up stamps and logo's and a multitude of jobs in between, Instant heat as soon as its needed, no waiting for it to warm up, and extremely cheap to run. One tank lasts forever. Also great for heating up acrylics for bending and shaping. Also, it's great for soldering, and heat shrink tubing. Only problem is, my wife keeps pinching it to light fires in the garden, must buy her one for xmas. Would highly recommend to anybody wanting to add a new dimension to their toolkit.
