Weller T6 Hot Air Desoldering Nozzle for use with PK1 Gas Soldering Iron

Gas-operated soldering irons are usually butane-powered versions of the traditional soldering iron, but their independence from the mains allows them to be used in intricate and harder-to-access soldering applications, including:

• Maintenance


• Repairs


• Electrical engineering

What are the main advantages of a gas-powered soldering iron?
Without the need for a connection to mains power, gas-powered soldering irons are cordless and therefore much more portable during use. They can also work in much more intricate and hard-to-reach areas as they do not have trailing cords.
Their refillable butane reservoir tank makes gas-powered soldering irons more economical when it comes to occasional repairs or smaller jobs rather than having to wait for mains-powered irons to heat up.
