    Damn, I just bought a single hose sprayer for about $7 a fortnight ago, at Bunnings.

    Big price reduction on the butane soldering torch.
    I really wish I had bought the Dick Smith soldering station when it was on specials for $30.

    I have had the original Portasol equivalent of the gas iron/torch (https://www.jaycar.com.au/portasol-super-pro-gas-soldering-t…) for many years and it's an excellent piece of kit. I mainly use it for soldering large gauge wire & fittings/terminals but have also used it as a mini blowtorch and a hot knife for cutting plastic. Also handy for standard soldering jobs when away from a power source but of course always check for risks of explosion from fuel or gas (inc. car battery venting) before igniting. Very likely this Tradeflame is an exact rip-off of that design and possibly even better than the Portasol as many rip-offs are these days so yeah, great find OP!

    Not all butane irons are equal. I have an orange generic that gets beautifully hot, had it for over 20 years and tip’s now very concave. The replacement is a Weller kit with all the accessories and it barely gets hot enough to tin a medium gauge wire, let alone use in the garage on a cold day. Approach with caution.

    • bamzero on 17/05/2018 - 11:04

      Like electric ones, gas irons are also rated at different power levels, maybe the Weller is at the lower end of the scale (but if it's that bad maybe just has a problem, blockage or something).

      Given that this one doesn't even offer a rating I wouldn't be expecting much though.

      • 0jay on 17/05/2018 - 11:25

        Yeah neither of my butanes are rated, used to have a nice Weller soldering station but most need is in the unpowered garage.

    I bought that tradeflame kit and it's garbage. The cheap ebay ones like this work much better in every way. Just buy new solder, as the soler that comes with the cheap ones is rubbish too.

      Cheers for the info SS… but why is it so bad?

      • c0balt on 17/05/2018 - 09:59

        My guess is like most portable soldering irons, the temperature control is either too cold or too hot, with it being very hard to stay in the zone where the solder is going to flow well without it burning any plastic within 5cm of the exhaust vents.

        Maybe there is something specific about this tradeflame that makes it even more rubbish?

    • c0balt on 17/05/2018 - 09:58

      I've used an Iroda Solder Pro 50 for many years and while butane soldering irons can get the job done, they are also fairly unwieldy plus the temperature control just loves to make it red hot even on the lowest setting if left for a minute or two.

      Because of that the coating on the tips are prone to cracking and they can be expensive (not like that kit eBay though, the tips are cheap as).

      A few months ago I purchased a TS100 soldering iron to replace both my portable and desktop station. I've also made an adaptor so that I can use it on my Ryobi+ 18v batteries using a deoderant cap, some adjustable bolts and a glue gun. It isn't the prettiest adaptor, but it's soooooo much nicer than using either of the soldering irons I used before.

      With the 10% eBay sale coming up, if you are targeted, the TS100 can be had for around $60 which is expensive for someone who just needs a $20 soldering iron, but it's the bees knees baby. I still use the Solder Pro 50, but only when I need to cut plastic as it's like a hot knife through butter without leaving any mess behind (just have to be very careful of the fumes).

      • SteveAndBelle on 17/05/2018 - 10:12

        Nice work on the TS100. Have eyed them off for a while but I already have a few irons to keep me going so it's difficult to justify. Out of interest, how long do you get out of the Ryobi+ 18V battery when just doing normal PCB other light duty work?

        • c0balt on 17/05/2018 - 10:24
          +6

          What gear do you currently use? When I said desktop station before I was being generous, I actually used this for about 10 years as my primary iron https://www.jaycar.com.au/30w-240v-temperature-controlled-so…. Apart from having a thick cord that loves to pull the iron out of the $5 stand I use, it's actually very decent and the factory bent tip has been a real swiss army knife.

          With the battery life, I haven't actually measured it and I haven't soldered for more than a few minutes at a time in a long while. I haven't even done any PCB work since getting it although I do have a few eBay kits in the mail. I also only have the 1.4ah entry level batteries which are not ideal, but I have 4 of them lying around.

          My guess would be with 18.5v 1.4ah battery and 40w power draw, with probably an average closer to 15w depending on temp, the batteries I have wouldn't be good for more than 30 minutes of light duty/PCB work.

          With a 4ah battery that could be stretched to close to 2 hours probably.

          @c0balt: Nice work on the adaptor! Those 'dodgy' DIY solutions are sometimes the best hey.

          I'm currently just using one of those cheapie $20 HobbyKing 936 rip-off Stations. Bought a bulk quantity of them a few years ago when they went on sale (I think I got them down to about $17 a piece inc. shipping!) to give to friends and family as gifts and have 3 or 4 leftover. Found nicer tips for them for less than $1 each and yeah, makes for an amazing iron and just as good or even slightly better than my original Hakko 936 I bought back in the late 90s for about $350! I have a heap of other stuff too but it's all packed up in boxes in storage until I get a workshop space for it all (currently restoring & living in a tiny old house so have zero room for a workshop at the mo).

          I've got a heap of the Ozito PowerXChange stuff for the house restoration with a heap of 4Ah batteries so I'm thinking I could go for a TS100 and hack up one of the $13 Ozito USB Accessories with a nice DC connector as an elegant way of connecting it to the Ozito batteries. I don't need an iron but hey it's always nice to play around with cool stuff as I'm sure you know ;)

          @SteveAndBelle:

          I know those well. I thought I was going to be an owner of one earlier this year because of this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/356461

          Had I got that deal, and not be screwed around by the seller on both the iron and hot air station, I doubt I would have got the TS100 as I also have a USB powered soldering iron (on the recommendation of Bigclive) that works for the small repairs I needed it for. The TS100 was a bit of an impulse buy as a few of the youtubers I watch were sent them over the last few months and yeah turns out advertising like that works if the thing performs :/

          Those batteries are fantastic to use as they have all the inbuilt protections needed. I spent a week thinking about how to configure either some spare LiPos or a set of 18650s, both needing a BMS, over and under voltage protection and more. I even dismantled a cordless vacuum (was broken) to get the 18650 cells out before I realised I had a perfect 5s battery that would do everything I need.

          Oh if the Ryobi USB adapter didn't cost $30 min I would have modified one of those to have a 5.5x2.5 jack on it to pass the 18.5v through. Going that route on the Ozito batteries would definitely be the way to go if it's $13. I literally used a cap of a $2 roller deodorant and some m3 bolts I had lying around from years ago and yeah it's bodgy AF. I'm such an ozbargainer that I still use that deodorant, I just have to keep it in a zip lock bag to stop it from drying out.

          I've set an eBay alert so that if the Ryobi USB adapter goes under $20 then I'll be doing it that route. As you know it's always nice to play around with cool stuff, especially when it's cheap cool stuff :D

        • SteveAndBelle on 17/05/2018 - 18:19

          @jpl: Apart from the super pointy tip they're supplied with (easily rectified with the $1 tips off eBay) they are amazingly good irons hey. Quick heat-up and all most people would ever need… ever! I've repaired $4000+ Home Theatre Receivers with mine… silly Pioneer using crappy B&O ICE Power Amps stages. Urgh. Hell job but got it working with $30 worth of better rated poly caps using my $17 HobbyKing iron :)

          @c0balt: could the ts100 be used outdoors on cold days? I suppose if it's raining then don't use it

      I concur that the Tradeflame kit is rubbish. The second time I used it I had it running for about 5 minutes when the flame began to die. I checked the fuel level and all was good, so took it apart to find the plastic at the base of the torch head had melted and was blocking the flow of gas. The cheaper Chinese torch I bought to replace it I have had running for much longer, without issue. Be warned!
