Soldering Irons

When it comes to soldering there are three types of tools: irons, guns and torches. Soldering irons are the most basic of the three and work well for smaller soldering projects on electronics or for making repairs. Soldering irons have a heated metal tip where the melted solder is dispensed and an insulated handle used to grip the device. Another added feature on some soldering irons is a temperature control, which allows you to choose the heat settings.
