Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ LEXIVON LX-770 Butane Soldering Iron Kit: Cordless Self-Igniting Adjustable Flame, 7-Tip Set, Pro Grade 125-Watt Equivalent - Get Yours Now! by Ronnie Polk

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useless case with tips

I just received the iron and didn't have the opportunity to test how well it works, but I lit it and it's better than another brand. I had to reconsider this aspect as the barrel doesn't seem to radiate much ambient heat. The lighting is a bit odd: you have to twist the spring-loaded thing sideways to press the fire button, but then you have to hold it while you slide the other locking switch or the iron will turn off immediately and you let go of the firing pin. No big deal, I think I can get used to it. The biggest issue is the case, which really bothers me. This does not allow you to store the iron with a protective cap or even with the nozzle installed. You have to disassemble the iron and remove the nozzle every time you want to put it back in the case. This is a BIG design flaw. For some time this should not be done, as the iron will get hot. It's not very mobile friendly and I use WiFi for that. I work in cars and boats. I can't close this and put it in a case after use. This iron does not get 5 stars from me, even if it works well. It's either a star up or down. The case violates the terms of the contract. (@manufacturer) repair the case and send a replacement free of charge and this is subject to change.
