Soldering Tools: Soldering Gun Vs. Iron

If you’re looking for a new soldering tool, you may wonder if a soldering gun or iron is right for your projects. While both soldering irons and guns offer a great solution for joining together two pieces of metal, each has its benefits. Ace has everything you need to get the job done right, from soldering gun kits to iron sets.

Soldering Heat Gun

Like a heat gun or glue gun, a soldering heat gun fits conveniently in one hand and is operated using a small trigger. The tip features a loop that provides the heat for soldering. This format usually provides more power than irons, making it ideal for metalwork and heavy electrical connections. It also heats up quickly for fast, energy-efficient work.

Because the tip of a soldering gun heats up so quickly, it needs to be replaced more often than an iron. Look for designs with an easy tip change option so you can enjoy a largely uninterrupted workflow.

Soldering Irons

Lightweight and versatile, electric soldering irons are great for delicate projects and long hours. The wand-shaped design features a metal tip that heats up for soldering. These irons are available in a range of sizes, so you can find the power you need for big and small tasks. You can even reach for a cordless soldering iron for jobs where you don’t have easy access to electric power.

The compact shape makes them comfortable to work with and allows access to smaller areas that might be hard to reach with the larger guns. They also heat up more slowly, helping to preserve the life of each tip. Soldering irons are best suited to lighter soldering jobs as they are slightly less energy efficient and powerful than soldering guns.
