Review: Very good quality and excellent value for money - I have spent ages trolling the internet wanting a small, compact gas powered iron to use around the house or out in the car. I have a digital soldering station which is great for any job but not portable and no use when trying to connect LED strips which have been mounted. I wanted a unit with ignition and small enough to hold as a usable soldering iron. I looked at so many, most were junk, almost all were stupidly overpriced. I settled on this mainly because of the combination of auto ignition, brand name and price. I wasn't dissapointed at all, the unit has no fancy case, no useless box of accessories you never need but made out to suggest you do. It arrived in a brown paper bag, it took a few seconds to charge with butane gas and immediately ready to use, heats up to soldering temp in a few seconds and with the auto ignition there is no need to leave it running, but you can do so if preferred. It is easy to regulate temperature, I used it for connecting LED strips so needed very low heat, just enough to melt the solder. It does this with ease and can be turned up to get much hotter which would be needed for thicker wires such as car wiring. Takes up not much more space than a screwdriver in my toolbox, drops into a pocket real easy. Overall, very good quality and excellent value for money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exactly do you buy to re-fill this soldering iron, and does it come ready filled or empty?**
A: It comes empty but it is filled using standard butane gas found at tobacconists etc but can use more expensive and refined butane. It fills at the bottom of the iron

**Q: Does the tip come off so its becomes a heat gun?**
A: The tip unscrews. Not sure I'd call the result a 'heat gun' though. It also didn't hold much gas and I stopped using it because it didn't get hot enough.

**Q: Anyone used it for pyrography if so how does it perform?**
A: We have not tested it for this purpose.
Soldering irons are most often used for installation, repairs, and limited production work in electronics assembly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ouch! that's hot
*by H***S on 7 April 2012*

Having received this Draper Butane powered soldering iron in the post this morning, I wasted no time in trying it out, I first tried filling it up with gas but soon realised it would be easier to remove it from the packaging. This done I moved the control to the center position and pressed the red button and got the expected click, I then soon learnt that touching the tip to find out if it was hot wasn't the most educated thing to do, so take my tip and don't do it, it will be hot. After bathing my finger under the cold tap and then tinning the tip I did everything I needed to do with it and found it surprisingly easy and comfortable to use. I must say I found the time needed for the heat up to be VERY short. How long it will last, I suppose depends on how it is used and looked after. New tips are available and you can get them from Amazon, Ebay and I do know that "PVRDirect.co.uk" also have them and they are very cheap but the postage is a little silly so I recommend Amazon or EBay, the part number is "Draper 87382 - Draper Spare Soldering Tip For 78774 - (YGT8)" so if you need to alter the tip for different jobs, you can, the tips just unscrew using a 6.5mm spanner, and for anyone who is interested they are made of brass and not copper as you would expect, presumably to make them last a little longer. So far I'm very pleased with it and hope to be using it for quite a while yet, at the price your paying you should be able to get your moneys worth without any problems. In my opinion a better product than the silverline version so I would recommend this Draper iron. Having now used this iron on quite a few occasions now I can honestly say that I have found it to be reliable and is very capable of doing more jobs than I at first thought it would do. It lights first time, it lasts a long time on one fill (cant say how long, but is long enough). A great little, and very handy iron to have with you. One small point, dont put the cap on, or put it in your pocket until it cools down. Recommended even more than before.
