Tools and Hardware Reviews of Weller BP645MP Battery Powered Soldering Iron with Batteries
Customer Review: Easy to use and just the right temperature.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever heard of Weller Cold Heat Pro Soldering Tool, Model# CHT100? I did, and I bought one (feel free to read my horrible review on the product's page). What a waste.
So I decided to try again and get this. It's a thousand times better, but still not without it's flaws:
Pros:
1) it doesn't get any more portable
2) works MUCH better than ColdHeat or butane cordless irons
3) It uses a traditional tip that actually GETS HOT when turned on... unlike the Cold Heat, which basically sends current THROUGH your work to heat it up.
4) It's mid-range heat doesn't fry your work. And again, by not zapping your work to heat it up, you don't risk damaging or overheating chips, etc. In fact, I find it a PERFECT heat for circuit boarding -- just hot enough to melt the solder but not to damage the boards.
5) It has a heat-resistant, vented cap you can put on directly after use which even locks-out the on switch to prevent accidental activation in a pocket.
Cons:
1) It does take a long time to warm up, even of fresh batteries. Expect to wait 15-20 seconds holding the button waiting for it to warm up.
2) Batteries don't last too long.
3) It's mid-range temperature doesn't do too well on solder that's been heated and cooled a few times. But then, so does my corded iron.
All in all, I still wholeheartedly recommend the Weller BP645MP!!
