Soldering iron works fantastic I like that the pump is in the base rather than the gun. I have a HAKKO FR-301 and I have to constantly fiddle with cleaning the little valves in the pump to keep it running. This demolition iron is half the price and much nicer. My only complaint is that I can't find replacement pistol tips. So if I don't find one soon, I'll be returning it. I hate doing this, but it's useless if the tips are worn out and I can't find new ones. If anyone found any tips please let me know where I can buy them. I put 3 points because I did not find interchangeable nozzles. If I find a replacement I'll change the rating to 5.
