These are everyday tools for soft soldering jobs on cables and pipes, but also for more specialised work such as decoration on wood. The collection also includes consumables, such as solder and soldering pastes, so that you have everything the job needs in one place.

What you will find in this collection

  • Pencil and instant-heat soldering irons
  • Gas torches
  • Solder sticks and soldering pastes
  • Pyrography tools

How to choose

  • Choose the power of the soldering iron according to the size of the parts to be soldered.
  • For work on the move, consider gas torches; for continuous use in the workshop, an electric soldering iron.

Frequently asked questions: Soldering Irons, Gas Torches and Pyrography Tools
What are soldering irons, gas torches and pyrography pens used for?

They are used for soft soldering and brazing of cables, pipes and metal components, with pencil, gun or instant-heat soldering irons and with gas torches. The pyrography pen, on the other hand, is used to decorate or engrave wood with its hot tip. They are used by electricians, plumbers and maintenance technicians.

Pencil soldering iron or soldering gun: which should I choose?

The pencil iron is light and precise for small joints and work on electrical circuits. The soldering gun heats up faster and is used for more frequent jobs or larger pieces. The collection also includes hatchet, instant-heat and cordless soldering irons. Choose according to the precision required and the power supply available.

What matters when choosing a soldering iron: power, voltage and tips?

The power in watts indicates how much heat the iron can produce and affects the working speed. The voltage must be checked against the mains or the battery. Spare tips, such as those for the 9200 UC model or the ST 301, are replaced when they wear out. Always check that the tip is compatible with the model.

Which solder and flux paste should I use for soldering?

Solder in sticks or wire is used for soft soldering of cables and pipes. Soldering paste and stearin help the solder flow. Deoxidising powder helps clean off oxide before soldering. Choose the paste compatible with the metal to be joined and with the type of job.

Gas torch, blowtorch and kit: how do they differ?

The gas torch and the blowtorch are flame tools for soldering and braze welding. The collection includes blowtorch kits, such as the 6026MPT or the I074LK, and soldering kits such as the Oxygas item 555D. Before connecting any blowtorch, check the gas type and the cylinder compatible with the chosen model.

How do I use a soldering iron without ruining the tip?

Clean the tip during work with a damp sponge or brass wool and keep it coated with fresh solder, an operation called tinning. Do not force the tip against the joint and let the heat do its work. When the tip oxidises or does not hold solder, replace it with a spare one.

How do I work safely with soldering irons and flames?

Work in a ventilated area, away from flammable materials, and wear glasses and gloves. Soft soldering fumes should be extracted or kept away from the face. Do not bring your hands close to the hot tip and close the cylinder valve when you finish. Let the iron cool while resting on its stand.
