Soldering guns are used where more heat is needed than from the lower-power soldering irons. They can be used for heavy electrical connections, stained glass assembly, and light sheet-metal work. Typical soldering guns are rated at 100 to 240 watts power. A gun may include a two-stage trigger to give two heat settings

Where does soldering gun came from?
From a soldering gun supply store
What is the difference of a soldering iron and a soldering gun?
A soldering iron is a straight tool, sort of like a long screwdriver. A soldering gun actually looks like a gun or a drill.
Where is a good place to purchase a soldering gun for home use?
There are many place to purchase a soldering gun for home use. The best place you can buy a soldering gun for home use is Office Depot. You can also find it online at Amazon.
How do you reattach the rear defrost cable on a 2004 ford expedition?
Try soldering it on with a soldering gun
Should you use a torch or soldering gun for a radiator?
both
What is the meaning of soldering gun?
That is an electric soldering machine with a 'pistol' type grip, that switches on when you press the trigger.That is an electric soldering machine with a 'pistol' type grip.
What is a soldering gun used for?
Shooting solder at a special solder shooting range
How do you dismantle a shopping cart?
Well, take a screwdriver and a soldering gun and have a ton of fun!
Why is it not suitable to use a soldering gun to solder modem electronics component?
Solder guns as a rule have wider tips than soldering irons/soldering pens.You might not be able to reach just the spot that you want to with a solder gun given the size of the components, and how tightly packed they are on a modern circuit board. Many modern components, such as integrated circuits, will be damaged by the high heat levels produced by soldering guns.
What type of soldering is a soldering gun normally used for?
Soldering irons are usually used with rosin core solder. Sometimes it has lead in it but often not since its toxic. Most of the time its for heavy soldering like heavy gauge wires or older circuit boards since the tips are fairly big. They also have a decent temperature control so anything that is delicate like large SMD soldering.
How do you put the wire back on to firewall solenoid for 1999 expedition?
Soldreing the wire to the solenoid will be the best long-term solution. Soldering guns are relatively cheap now at Harbor Freight. You can get a full kit (inclues soldering gun, flux, extra gun tips, and solder) for around $5.
What is the best soldering iron and tip to use on circuit boards?
Soldering irons come in a variety of sizes and shapes. There is a wide selection of soldering irons, soldering pencils, soldering stations and soldering guns available on market in the USA.Which soldering iron is the best soldering iron for you depends on the soldering work you are planning to do and how often you are planning on using your soldering iron. The following four factors should be taken into consideration when picking a soldering iron that will be used for soldering projects on circuit boards:1) ) type of the soldering tools2 wattage of the soldering iron3)temperature control4) tip size and shapeTypes of soldering toolsAll soldering tools can be divided in four different groups-Soldering pencils-Soldering station-Soldering rework /repair stations systems-Soldering gunsSoldering pencilsSoldering pencils are the simplest (and the cheapest) soldering tool. Soldering pencils are good only for simple do-it-yourself projects. The price range of the soldering pencils is $10-$30Soldering stationsSoldering station consists of two parts: soldering pencil and a power station. Soldering pencil is attached to a power station. Power station controls temperature of the iron tip in the wide range. It automatically keeps the iron tip at an appropriate temperature. Desired temperature of soldering iron is set with knob on the face plate of power station. Soldering station can be used for most of soldering projects. It can be used for soldering of through-hole components on circuit board as well as for soldering of very fine surface-mount components as small as 0603 and 0805. The price range of the soldering stations is $40-$150.Soldering rework /repair stations systemsSoldering rework/repair systems are complex soldering tools which are mostly used in industry or in the high-volume manufacturing facilities. This soldering systems are the most expensive soldering tools since they usually consist of power station and 4 or 5 hand pieces including soldering iron, hot-air gun, tweezers , vacuum pump which is used for the de-soldering work. The price range of the soldering systems is $250-$2500.Soldering gunsI do not recommend using soldering guns for fine soldering projects on circuit boards.The most popular brand names for soldering irons in the USA are Weller, Pace and Hakko. Aoyue soldering irons are less popular brand name in the United States then Weller or Pace. However, Aoyue soldering irons are much cheaper and they are good combination of quality and price.There is a wide selection of iron tips. Iron tips come in different shapes and sizes. For most soldering projects you can use screwdriver tip 0.062" or 0.032". For fine soldering projects and for soldering of small surface-mount components you can use conical tip 1/16".ConclusionI recommend a temperature controlled 50W soldering station. This soldering station will be excellent tool for most of soldering projects. My top recommendations are:-Weller WESD51 soldering station (digital)- Weller WES51 soldering station (analog)- Hakko FX-888 soldering station- Aoyue 2702A soldering station- Pace ST-25 soldering station
