This wireless soldering iron has worked without issue since 2019. I've used it in so many projects from car wiring to computer stuff, and it works flawlessly every time. no real cons. Work as it should. Being butane-based, it took an extra minute to get super hot, but it still does a great job for the convenience.

Best soldering iron I’ve used but like the title states the tips corrode very quickly! I’ve had irons before that don’t ignite properly, flimsy, have cheap plastic parts that are prone to breaking easily but the tips have always stood the test of time.Still I’d rather replace the tips than the unit itself which speaks volumes of this iron. Ignites instantly, you can solder within seconds, it’s very sturdy and compacts, takes very little gas yet lasts for ages, I hardly have to fill it up. 5 stars if it had better tips.

Great little unit for light duty work. Working on cars and not having to deal with a cord is huge. Heat range is nice but not for large heavy work. perfect for around the house or day use like use it.This kit has lasted me over 5 years and still going strong. Use it 3 days a week for 15 min.

This purchase was for work use, I had previously bought one of these for home use (about 5 years ago); I was that happy with it.A butane refill seems to last quite awhile, it heats to soldering temp VERY quickly (seconds), and has a cover so it can be put back into it's travel case without taking to time to let it cool down first.Extremely handy to use when there is no electrical outlet handy... in fact, I use this Weller P2KC gas iron to actually *replace* my electric 120VAC iron in everyday use (although I keep it as a backup). Take care of the tip (keep it tinned, and tin the tip before you turn it off) and it will last almost forever.The only thing that you have to remember, that makes using this iron different than an electric iron, is that since it burns a gas (butane), that means that is also has to exhaust that hot, burnt gas, and it does a short distance from the soldering tip. The exhaust port is small, and it exhausts the hot gas in one direction only, so make sure that the exhaust hole DOES NOT point toward something close by that is heat-sensitive, such as plastic, paper-- or your skin! It will burn you if you're not careful. Just be mindful of where the tiny exhaust hole is, and you'll be fine; it's the price we pay for the portability we get using any gas-powered iron.Very highly recommended. I only nicked it one rating star because the temperature control is an adjustment knob at the back end of the iron, and the temp you get is just a guess; you'll have to play with it to find the best temperature that works for your needs.This Weller P2KC butane soldering iron is one of the few products I can easily give 4.5 - 5 stars.If either of mine break, I'll replace it with same, in a heartbeat.

If you've never used a butane soldering Iron before, I'd recommend you try one. It is very nice not to have an extra wire dragging around the workplace when you are trying to get something done. Temp control is lacking compared to an electric, for obvious reasons, but you sort of learn how to manage it properly. The multiple ends on this are very useful ie theory, but so far the only real use I've seen is just messing around with them as a little homemade pen torch, though the "blower" end is actually pretty useful for heat shrink tubing in tighter environments, so long as you are careful.This seems pretty good. I've had it flare out now and again, but it always lights right back up again. This model seems relatively well made, so I'd recommend using it if you are doing inexact soldering work in places where traditional soldering irons just won't work.

Love the freedom of cutting the cord. Most times I am outside working on lights on a vehicle and don't have easy access to power. This little iron solves that issue. Comes in a small case as seen in the picture. I have used it several times now with no issues of the flame blowing out or not lighting, it simply works when you need it to.I have wired a full light package on small utility trailers without the need to refill the butane although I don't leave it running when not in use. It heats up quick and I have no problems with turning it off and on again .As of so far I would recommend this product and purchase again if needed.

Best thing I have purchased for my boat repairs yet! I love this thing. Lights easily, easy to determine if it is lit, stays lit and works in breezy outdoor conditions. Used it for soldering marine connections, shrinking environmental shrink coverings, and even cuts/melts my halyard ends. Highly recommended 10/10 would purchase again. I'm going to be so sad when I inevitably drop it over the side. Comes in a decent useful carry case, has two hot air tips, a melting wedge and of course a mid sized soldering tip. Seems well made, I've dropped it a couple times already and no issues.

One of those tools that- once you've bought it- you don't know how you ever lived without it.I initially planned on just getting one of those cheapo Radioshack butane soldering kits for the odd occasions that I need to solder wiring in my car, but was talked into this one by one of my cousins, who owns and uses an older version.I was initially hesitant because of the price, but I'm really happy I bought it.This is an exceedingly nice, well-thought-out kit. I really love the fact that it comes with a stand for the iron that clips into the case. Whats really nice is that- due to the way its angled- you can either put the iron in from the top, angled down (for soldering) or from the bottom angled up. (for when you want to heat/torch things without having to hold the tool in your hand)I also really like the fact that they give you a separate spot for the cover, so that you can store the tool with it on OR off.I initially thought I wouldn't use the hot knife, but its very useful for cutting nylon rope, as it both cuts and fuses at the same time giving you nice neat rope ends.The torch and the hot air tip are both very useful.I really like that it comes with a sponge for soldering.The butane lasts a LONG time- at least an hour. I really don't need to refill it that often, and I use it very, very often.However, note:If you don't already have a good soldering iron, and don't have an urgent need for in-the-field soldering, get yourself a good Weller soldering station first.The iron in this kit perfectly useful, mind you, but if I could do the work at my bench with my electric soldering station, I would do so every time.With butane, you always have to be mindful of the jet of heat shooting out of the exhaust port. That is the nature of all butane irons (that I know of), however. Just know what you're getting into, and you will be extremely satisfied.Would I buy this again? Yes, many times over.
