325w soldering gun

[STEvil]

I've been using this to do my vmods and other assorted soldering iron work because I dont like to sit around for 20 minutes while my iron heats up.. is there something wrong with me? :D

:eek: :eek: :eek:


I literally throw those away every chance I get...

[toolbox]

Talk about heat.

[kommando]

Man i got a chunky soldering iron with like a 3cm tip, ITS A BEAST!!!

[Ragnarok]

u r not fit to touch any soldering equipment...

Nah, you're not nuts. I'm sure you don't hold the trigger the whole time you're soldering. I've used my Weller gun and just held the trigger 'til the solder started to melt and then let go. The tip seems to hold the heat nicely only requiring a tap of the trigger once in a while.

[YoupY]

Damn how can you work with that piece, specially on small places. I never even considered using this type of Iron, because I would solder everything in the in the neighbourhood together.

I always use a 18W iron with a nice 1 mm tip.

[STEvil]

skill ;)

[daos]

thats insane. purely insane. i would like to see that thing in action.

[chilly1]

Don't throw it out use it for a load testing Rumor has it at 325W in two years we will need that to test the capacity of our new cooling systems..

[STEvil]

hey, good idea.

I'll have to build a custom tip for it to use on heatsinks and stuff now.. killer idea, actually !!!

It sure there is, bro.:p: Well, if it works for ya.;)

bah, i got a cheap a$$ little pencil tip iron at Fry's for like 12 bucks, takes about 3 minutes to heat up, and has a sharp enough tip to puncture my skin quite easily (dont ask) I would think that a soldering beast like that would possibly damage SMD components on mobos or vid cards...i think i used to have one of those when i was a kid playing with soldering...i eventually used it for mechanical soldering, my kid version of welding :D

[Boyne7]

omg i have that exact same soldering iron, i dont use it anymore though i think the tip is busted, but anyways i like my 30watt pencil style MUCH better lol i would never bring one like that anywhere near my parts

[lalPOOO]

I wouldn't use one of those for 'computer' soldering unless I was held at gunpoint, that thing is nuts.

[Tyberius]

or solderpoint from the look of that gun...ba-dum-chee

[Crankster]

MANLY!

[hollywood]

Using that THING to solder electronics is like using a sledgehammer to mount a picture on a wall.

Useless...

Now...for R/C cars and soldering Ni-Cad and NI-MH battery packs together...that would be nice...but then again, the heat could destroy the cells if held for too long.

pfft.. Xtreme irons for Xtreme mods ;)

jesus. You dont want to hit anything else than the solder point or that beast melts it.. Man I love it :) :toast:

[Slickthellama]

that's simply redonkulious.

update:

Dang this thing makes removing SMD caps EASY!!!

Like 10 in a swack with the blade tip.. lol.
