Finally someone else has discovered this gem! I think I paid around $20 at Wal-Mart for mine. Love it it's made me a lot of money. As long as a tool does the job and doesn't break I don't care where it comes from or how much or little it cost
Lol. I just got the same model (with the fancy box), the other day. It was like deja vu watching you fill the already filled unit. I did the same thing, bro.
I've had that same Soldering Iron for about 3 years now and hasn't failed yet. For the price it's a really decent Iron and heats up fairly quick. Then I have my Weller Soldering Gun for other applications on thicker wire. Great Review on this brother, hope your having a great New Year.
Did some useful on mine soldered a 12 volt cig lighter adapter with fuse for an 12 24 to 5v usb adapter to get power from an 20 volt lithium tool battery. To keep my tablet charged.
I've had the mini torch style bernzomatic for about 15 years, still works great. Have used it to solder wire, copper pipes, and melt ice out of frozen locks. Keep up the good videos bud.
Hi Justin love your videos keep up the good content coming, With that soldering iron you can set it down on a workbench while it's on by laying it on the trigger but take note make sure the vents aren't in line with the trigger or when you set it down you will burn the workbench make sure the vents are at 90° to the trigger, I've learnt that mistake on the dining table lol
Nice video! Keep on practicing and you will be good in no time! Always tin the tip first, always use flux and always put fresh solder onto the tip before turning it off to keep the tip new
Update . Bought a Mag-Torch in 2021 . Essentially the same product with one difference. It has a power control dial that goes 1 to 4. Think it actually cuts down on the heat where you would be using the hot blow or torch tip.
You can also leave soldering tip on and use the hole on side to heat the heat shrink. This speeds up service quite a bit as you are not removing and installalling the hot soldering tip
The power probe is what I have I use the the knife tip and heat shield tip a lot, I also have the power probe torch kit with the small attachments almost and it's great for soldering and heating well worth the money got both kits for 120 bucks
I've had bad luck with mine, im on the third one and this one doesn't seem to be getting hot enough to melt the solder and do the soldering jobs it's frustrating cuz you ruin things when you can't use it like you expect you're going to, when it works good I do well but sometimes it's it just doesn't heat up well enough and you end up messing around with it too much and trash what you're working on
I find that for soldering, it’s best to use them in torch mode. Takes way too long to heat those tips, and the tips all go to hell rather quickly anyway. Regardless of all the preventive measures you take. I keep it in permanent torch mode and just use caution when soldering and shrinking.
You forgot to purchase the BernzoMatic water soluble flux tube paste that is sold separately in the same area where you found the solder torch. It makes for a better flowing clean shiny solder joint connection. ........just sayin'.
I got the power probe for around$40. But it came with a roll of leaded iron, a whole bunch of tips, a case, and a sponge.... So they'll probably work out to be the same price if u buy all that for the bernzomatic....js
Are you by chance related to T.J. Miller? Also awesome video thank you! Just bought this but was hoping to see it used before I took it out of the box!

Great plain and simple tutorial. I bought one about 6 months ago and did not know how to use it. Thanks.

Brilliant idea of using an ashtray for soldering.
The mechanic way 😊

I dig that tool never knew it existed
It's the Creme De La Creme. I'm telling you bro. It's a must have for sure. Cheers!

Some one said after a few fill ups you need to purge to fill it up completely. Get a purge kit from somewheres.

just bought this soldering iron, good feedback, thanks for the heads up!
Very good "tip", no pun intended.
🤣
Got one of those soldering torches also took forever to get the soldering iron part to get going. Maybe it was the cold. Need a course i guess.

Yes it does exactly that, I also bought mine in 2021, with the control lever 1 to 4.
Great vid! Glad to see another hand talker too ahaha

Yeah, mind the hot hole at all times, got bit by my power probe soldering iron a couple times and fried the hell out of a circuit board once.

I have one but can’t get it to fire up!! 8.35am
Same exact torch at AutoZone but called Mag Torch.
Thx for great video.
GO DUCKS!
Also I use the hot air portion of this torch for SMD soldering works great
I thought that round piece attachment was for shrink tubing.If all else fails,, read the directions.
That heating element is a tiny catalytic converter, after heating it will glow red with no flame just butane going through
I tried to fill my new tool as well and was surprised to see it already full out of the box.
Right? Package says "fuel not included" , but nowhere does it say the tool is already fully fueled!
Got the whole kit extra tips sponge solder the box. Rap around heat shrink tip. Nice i guess.
Mine did the same thing while filling up, came full

Cool demo. Looks like a good one. Thanks
Can someone explain to me how to just get the heating element lit and stay lit.

Can you leave it in the car in freezing temperatures? Will it still work?
Awesome video
Can’t find it on Canadian Amazon
Good video! I use a flux pen which seems to speed things up and stores pretty nicely.
How works the torch ???
You forgot to purchase the BernzoMatic water soluble flux tube paste that is sold separately in the same area where you found the solder torch. It makes for a better flowing clean shiny solder joint connection.
........just sayin'.
This one take longer than the other ones to heat up, I find. I guess it’s because there is no flame. But for the price. Can’t complaint

I'm used to electric ..and I have burned my fingers and the areas around the area I'm soldering due to the exhaust ports. Other wise it's not bad
I call my boss Ben-Zo- Matic
I like that one, about how much are those?
Link in the description.
@@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway I commented before you got the price of it, sorry about that
No Worries Brotherman. Cheers and Happy New Years!
I'll take my power probe over this any day
Can you exchange the soldiering tips? Are there more that can be bought?
Always tin the tip of the iron first
Same thing as harbor freight iron...
Too hard to work with one hand BV also needs stand
