🔥 Soldering Made Easy: Parts Express Cigarette Lighter Soldering for Convenient and Efficient Repairs Review

This is pretty much a standard item for those who need to solder with regular AC power. I used it to solder wires for a new car radio and speakers. Instead of pulling an extension cord from home or bringing things in, I used a car starter with a 12v input and this thing didn't disappoint. Just enough power to get the job done and with good solder and some flux I had the cleanest solder joints.

This little soldering iron is just perfect for me. It's hot enough to solder in about a minute, which is a lot faster than my old one.

After fully disassembled, it uses 20 AWG wire, no fuse, no on indicator, and no thermistor for temperature control. The wires lead to the heating element without any repercussions. Only the left one will heat up until something catches fire. Forget it. As soon as the tip of the iron touches it, the wire's…
