Soldering Guns VS Soldering Irons, Soldering Guns VS Soldering Irons Beállítások

[bining]

If you haven’t done much soldering in the past you may be wondering, Should I get a soldering gun or a soldering iron? Conveniently operated with a trigger using one hand, a soldering gun is shaped like a pistol and is used for joining metal surfaces. A soldering iron, which is also used for joining two pieces of metal, is wand-shaped and utilizes a heated metal tip. While both tools are used for soldering, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

One disadvantage of using a soldering gun is that the copper wire loop that forms the gun’s tip gradually dissolves and must be replaced frequently, increasing the time it takes to finish a soldering project. Another limitation of soldering guns is that they are heavier than irons, potentially causing strain and limiting your ability to solder cleanly. Furthermore, due to their size, soldering guns can lead to clumsiness when working on smaller jobs. Because soldering guns are best used for intermittent work due to the way the transformer works, they can disrupt your flow while soldering.
