Gas-Heated Soldering Iron Goot GP-101SGas-heated soldering irons are usually used when soldering has to be done far from electrical supply networks. In such case a key feature of the device is not only its self-sufficiency and temperature regulation factor but also its portability. Soldering iron Goot GP-101S is the lightest and most portable in GP series. It is made in the shape of a marker with a special cap and weighs only 43 g. Thus when carried it will not take up a lot of space while it is also possible to hook it onto a belt or a pocket. Before using the soldering iron it is first necessary to fill it with gas which is used for a regular gas lighter. Full filling will last for 45 minutes of a continuous work. Then we set power control, ie gas flow regulator, to the maximum and move gas supply lever upwards. The device is lighted through a special opening inside a hollow bit. This is done manually though, as there is no pieze. For this purpose there is silicon embedded into the cap, just like the one in a regular lighter... So we light it up till a red glow appears. The bit catalyst then goes further to catalytic combustion and heats the bit till its operating temperature in just about 30 seconds. The design also ensures that a soldering bit can be quickly replaced, as it is connected with a frame of the soldering iron by its thread. There are 5 types of bits provided additionally. All bits are shortened which makes it very convenient, for example when mounting <b>...</b>
