Had one of these guns before and have always liked it. Like the conical tip better as it suits most of my soldering jobs better, but this beats the hell out of most irons if you need more heat!
If you need a cordless heat gun this unit to get. It is very well made and does the job. I do a lot of specialty wiring and use heat shrink tubing often, the Master Appliance flam-less heat gun offers a focused burst of heat to do the job. Once more, the fan option gives a turbo boost to your work area as heat is available whether the fan is one or off. I'm confused why they call it a soldering iron though.
I bought the 701 for a home/hobby project that required quite some de-soldering. First impressions of the Ayoue:
Nozzles are available cheaply from the same manufacturer.I recommend using the quartz PCB preheater as hot air in general is a bit slow (compared to regular soldering iron), and that can be found on the web for a bit over a hundred dollars.
I have owned this since the early 1970s. This gun is ideal for many electronics soldering applications. It is very light weight but heats up quickly. It provides more than enough heat to, for example, solder Amateur Radio antenna connectors. Also great for repairing hand wired circuitry in older radios and automotive soldering. 
This is a good, general purpose iron. It is well suited for light to medium work. I purchased it for this reason.
decent product for what it is ,but did not get as hot as I wanted it to.I had a tough time melting the plastic I needed to melt.a pencil iron with a home made copper tip worked better.
I bought this unit about six years ago, and used it a few times a month for light-duty electronics work. It simply stopped working one day. It just blew warmish air instead of hot air. Do yourself a favor. Buy something else.
This iron heats up very quickly and works beautifully.Comes with an extra ceramic element just in case the one you have somehow goes bad.
I had been looking for a stand similar to this one for quite a while. Although I could find a reasonably priced stand, the shipping charges were always ridiculous. (One of my biggest pet peeves is spending more for shipping than the actual items costs!) When I saw this one offered for around $10 (including shipping), I pounced! Not a bad deal at all - especially when I've seen these same units for $8-$10, without shipping.
I bought this to work on a project that required removing colored LEDs from a circuit board so I can install white LEDs... so I was removing about 150 connections.
After a solid recommendation from "My Sister, The Professional Artist", I purchased this soldering iron for yet another reason not to do housework. The iron itself produces the steady high heat necessary for stained glass work and is perfectly complimented by it's stand.The rheostat is responsive, the cleaning pad is very handy and the wire holder is placed just where you need it.The $60 price is excellent for a tool of this quality and when needed, additional tips are readily available. Great equipment.
Works wonderfully for stained glass, could use a regulator to control the tempature after is has been on for a while.
I am not sure why others have rated this iron so poorly. I haven't had any problems using this soldering iron. This is the first one I've ever owned, and it's pretty easy to use. It heats up quickly and adequately for soldering Silver-containing solder with no problems for audio electronics. I do recommend getting a better soldering iron stand with a cleaning sponge for better safety practices and tip maintenance. The other feature I like is using other quality Weller tips which are reasonably easy to find in local hardware stores and electronics shops.
This maybe suited best for arts and crafts projects with all its different attachment tips,but if you want to solder electricalparts, forget it. The soldering tip never gets hot enough for quality work.Better to spend the extra money and get a real soldering iron that works.
I can't tell for sure, but this looks a lot like a radioshack brand torch I bought a while back. It's has a nice adjustable flame that stays lit. It burns a long time too because it holds a lot of butane (for it`s size). I helped a guy put a new door on is car. Why to I need a torch for that? Well he cut all the wires in the door instead of taking them off the various devices and pulling them though the rubber conduit first (DON'T DO THAT!!! Hehehe). Anyway while he transferred all the parts I worked on the door harness. Spent nearly an hour soldering and shrink wrapping I'd say at least 35-40 wires back together. About ¾ the way through it ran out (not bad). 
First let me say the build quality is VERY GOOD.How very useful, . . . there is a variable heat adjustment built in giving you a choice of a low wattage iron perfect for delicate work, and a much higher wattage iron for soldering to heavy terminals, lugs and other items that seem to suck up the heat.
This Weller tip is getting very hard to find locally.Amazon was only place I could find it.Perfect fit.Works great.
I've started in on a project that requires a lot of small soldering work on circuit boards. My hands aren't very steady so I have difficulty with such small work. Added to that the tiny tiny color bands and markings on components were giving me a head ache trying to decifer them with my unaided eye. This gizmo seemed like the perfect solution to my challenges.
The new "LEAD FREE SOLDER" basically bites.You cannot effectively use it on (new) motherboards.It either rolls right off where you want the solder to adhere, or it takes way too much heat and time to heat to a melting point.So, thank the good Lord that some folks still stock regular ("LEADED")solder!I will definitely be buying more regular solder that isn't "lead free."I got mine from the folks listed here, but you can get it a lot of places on the internet.If you goto your local hardware store and/or even Wallyworld, they may or may not know how to help you out.I find it best to utilize the internet for finding out where to buy stuff online, or who might keep it on the shelves in town.
This blade works very well, particularly with the Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 180W, ITEM 4328-0VGA, soldering gun. This gun heats up much more rapidly than the Weller. However, if you are going to use this for more prolonged use than a few isolated rope searings, the Harbor Freight gun may be too powerful.
How do you review a consumable? This stuff worked like solder is supposed to work. All of the electrical connections that I have made with it so far have been perfectly satisfactory.
Ever heard of Weller Cold Heat Pro Soldering Tool, Model# CHT100?I did, and I bought one (feel free to read my horrible review on the product's page).What a waste. 
Not too sure what I was buying...well, it is a great handy product...can be used in the smallest places...
I liked this portable soldering tool. At first it worked. But after a year or two, it would not ignite, regardless as to how much butane was put into it. Why? I'm not certain. But I do know that I work out of a truck as an electronics technician and the change of seasons probably wrecked havoc on the ignitor. My supervisor has about 6 of these in a junk pile in the stockroom from my other coworkers. My suggestion is to look at the SOLDERPRO 70. This one needs only an external spark or an external flame to ignite.
This one works ok, but I found this pump to get clogged with hardened solder easier than other pumps I've used. Maybe mine has a defect or something but it seems that the suction isn't quite what it needs to be to get the solder all the way into the base. Instead it will sometimes get stuck in the rubber tip and after 4 or 5 joints will clog the tip up so the cleaner bar won't go all the way in and you have to take it apart and clean it out to do more.
I have used one WP35 for over 40 years, since I was a kid. The only feature that has changed is that it now has a 3-wire AC cord, not 2. It is a "general purpose" soldering pencil with a very unique temperature-controlled tip that has a magnetic shank on the tip. This keeps the tip temperature relatively steady under load.
I bought this about a month ago to augment my personal toolkit I use in Iraq.I terminate a lot of radio cables, but need something that's fast to heat up and has a reasonable cool-down because of the random nature of when I need it.
Great price for a 60W iron, cheapest I could find. Does its job well enough, even though it smokes a little sometimes from between the tip and barrel (it did this before I first used solder, so it's really the iron that is smoking, but it's really minimal).
Wow I am impressed. I spent the last three days on the roof of my house putting up ham radio antenna systems. I needed to solder many conections, unsolder them and resolder them as I was triming antenna to resonant length. This tool is really good. I am showing it to everyone who comes in the house. The hot torch tip is useful to unsolder large-wire connections, the type that seems to suck up all the heat of a normal soldering iron. The iron heats up almost instantly, I have never had a failed start when I click the start button. There is a wire fashioned tool holder that I haven't quite figured out how it is supposed to hold something. This is a real tool for real jobs.
