🔥 Adjustable Temperature Soldering Connection for Welding Review

This product is probably not bad per se. I needed at least 500 watts. The supplied iron was 350 watts. sent back as too small for my application. The seller may want to move the reference to 500 watts from the product name to avoid confusion. I won't blame the product as it was clearly labeled as 350w. If this is what you need, this might be a good buy.

I ordered a 300 watt model and the packaging said it was a 300 watt unit. However, this device only consumes 200 watts. Heats enough for my needs. According to my uncalibrated infrared thermometer, after 25 minutes of high heat, it reached 650 degrees Fahrenheit and its tip began to glow red. It melts electrosolder in 10 minutes (440 degrees Fahrenheit).

This Exso soldering iron instantly disabled all three GFI protected circuits I tried it on. Obviously there was some internal ground leakage, and such a thing either signifies a serious design flaw or a manufacturing flaw that wasn't detected by a simple quality check (actually, I doubt it, a control check). So save your money and avoid hassles. Other similar irons cost more money, but at least you have a better chance of getting a working product.
