SP1K Super Pro Kit 125

Been looking for a decent gas soldering iron for ages, I have corded and cordless ones. So when my little gas torch gave up the ghost I was time to get a decent one.A quick search came up with some very pricey units, but this one stood out. But what was surprising was the Amazon price , which was well below the nearest competitors, and it’s the same as the snap on version, win win.Using it is a doddle with the easy ignition and instant heat, and the added flip out stand makes it safe to put on the side.Finally once done with the cover can be slipped over and left to cool safely.A great buy for soldering/heating away from a power source.

The Portasol gas soldering iron is a great bit of kit. It is extremely well made, feels solid and comfortable in your hand, and the only problem that I've had with it was failing to fire it up due to my own stubbornness to read the damn instructions! Full kudos to Amazon and EU Accessories Limited for getting it here before the due date, in fact I couldn't use it at first because it got here before the gas bottles did! I was looking for a new soldering iron anyway, but didn't want to be tied down with wires anymore, so after reading lots of reviews for different products went with the Portasol! And I'm really glad I did! It's great for all your household/electronic soldering needs!

I have to concur with the majority of reviewers, this is a professional tool, there is nothing I don't like about it.The kit is targeted towards site work,unfortunately not my intended use, I just wanted a cordless ready to go soldering iron on my bench, an additional purchase of an extra tip and it suits my purpose very well.Having used a few of these devices it is the the best I've used.

Great all around tool which will save you money compared to buying iron + torch. Note that this cheaper kit has a reduced number of tips and does not include the 1mm tips, which you might want for electronics work! However, the brand is solid and spare tips are easy to purchase at about 9 quid each. It is cheaper to buy this kit and extra tip you need.

Only comes with thick chisel tips, no narrow tip, so has to be bought separately.Other than that it's a fantastic unit, probably the best gas soldering iron you can get on the market, ignites first time always, lasts ages on the gas, and heats up extremely fast, less than 60 seconds

Way better than the commonly available models, that don't perform as reliably and durably as most would want. Gets going with the slightest touch - being blown is not a problem, either. Rampantly red-hot tip. Good substantial shaft to get the tip to where it needs to be. Once exhausted, it can be replenished and ready to go again no time. Highly commended for first-timers and seasoned lags alike.

Best gas soldering iron on market. Been a hgv mechanic for 15 years and tried loads of gas soldering irons for onsite wiring repairs and this is the best by far. Doesn't use as much gas as cheaper brands and heats up really quick. Highly recommend.

I bought this after using a colleagues in work , very good quality feels good in the hand gets up to temprature very quickly the surface area on the Tips allows very effective heat transfur making it very easy to solder with , half the cost of a weller but just as good in my eyes
