Product ReviewsPower Probe PPSK Butane Soldering Kit - Black

Great Tool

After reading online reviews of "Top 5 Butane Soldering Irons", I saw Power Probe's version to be the best overall. So far, I've used it's soldering ability for a couple of hours and it's heat blower tip for more. This has been a great tool to have. Being as versatile as it is, I would like to see more options for soldering tips, ideally one with a smaller point on the tip.Read full review...

Terrible. Dangerous. Don't do it.

This isn't even a soldering iron IT'S A WOOD BURNING IRON! Not to mention it's a FIRE HAZARD! The tip melted while I used it. Not to mention solder won't even stick to the dang thing. The solder pump doesn't suck very well, the screwdriver tips bent first time I used it, the stand falls over when you place the iron in it the flux was a brick of rosin, and the solder contains no flux at all and the sponge is, well, a sponge. Take my advice, do yourself a favor and buy a good soldering station like a Hakko, Weller or X-Tronic. Good tools require a good investment.Read full review...

Awesome cordless soldering iron for splicing wire

Used it to solder wires together for low voltage landscape lighting. This worked very nicely. No more hauling extension cords around. It is very hot and heats up quickly. Be aware, it needs a lot of butane.Read full review...

Best soldering iron I've had!

I do a lot of rewiring. And new projects with LEDs. This past weekend, I wired LEDs into my pantry and in hollow cabinets. This soldering iron was perfect for that. Also has the torch option and blower option for heat shrink!Read full review...

Solid construction but goes through fuel.

What a terrific portable soldering iron. It heats up quickly and the construction seems to be solid. This is probably a limitation of ALL butane soldering irons but one fill of the tank doesn't seem to last more than about 20 minutes or so. If you go in the field take a can of butane with you!Read full review...

Buy it!

Excellent, versatile torch/soldering kit. As a torch, it delivers a pinpoint, 1,800 degree flame without peripheral damage. As a heat gun, it will provide intense, localized heat. As a soldering iron, this kit provides several tips for most soldering tasks, including a heat knife tip. Burns a very long time on a full reservoir at low setting. Holds a butane charge indefinitely without gas leakage. Has a Piezo ignition system and the iron has a plastic protective cover/heat shield for storage. Controls are straightforward and easy to use. Comes in a plastic storage case including the soldering tips, wrenches, a vial of rosin core solder, and a tip cleaning sponge. No electricity? No problem. Can be used anywhere, anytime. Not intended for large scale soldering on wiring larger than 12 gauge, but 14 gauge & smaller wiring and electronics/circuit boards, this thing is an essential tool to have on hand. Not sorry I bought this. Still works and performs reliably over 1o years later. Great product!Read full review...

good product

I did need to go on youtube for a video. I had some experience with another butane. The instructions were much better then most and not having to light with a flame made things much easier. Not sure I would know what to do without the video. I really do like the product.Read full review...

My Best Purchase of 2020, HANDS DOWN.

How have I lived this many years without a butane soldering iron. Man, what an awesome tool. It comes with the torch adapter for shrink wrap which is super convenient, way better than using a lighter. I love this thing!Read full review...

Fast "Hot" heat! Easy to use but eats the Butane. I'm sure they all do.. Thanks

It's awesome because it works as advertised! No BS... It does consume too much Butane, (turn it off if not in use)! but I'm sure they all do, especially the cheap ones. It's actually fun to solder again!Read full review...

best butane soldering iron ever

all i have to say is don't be like me and buy cheaply made, poorly designed tools in an attempt to save money.
this tool has all the quality and feel of way higher priced units.
excellent tool!
