3 new soldering iron abilities that manufacturers never thought of

I love a tool that can solve various problems, it's especially cool when it's enough to slightly modify it for this. I saw on the Internet how people even make bolts and wing nuts using this device, but they will repeat this until I tried it. But I made a couple of improvements, and that's what I got in the end.

Wire soldering bath

Such a device did not take much time, it was enough to take an aluminum tube (it is better to use a copper one), rivet one edge and drill a hole in it. Then, using a bolt and a nut, fix it on the sole of the soldering iron, add tin and heat it up

When the tin melts, you can add rosin, the futorka is ready, you put the twisted wires into it, and they are well soldered.

Welding pipes in hard-to-reach places

Sometimes the pipes are located in such places that it is problematic to crawl up to them for welding. To solve this, I drilled a hole in the end of the soldering iron and cut a thread in it.

Now, you can install a suitable attachment and get to the problem area.

Powerful soldering iron

In the first version, he showed how to solder wires with a futor, when there is freedom of maneuver, but sometimes the place for soldering can be difficult to access, and another option will help here.

At the end of the soldering iron there is already a threaded hole, just take a tip from an old soldering iron, cut a thread on it and get a powerful soldering iron.
