I was answering emails at my desk today when a co-worker told me that someone had an Iso-Tip question. This wasn’t anything unusual, but then I was told that this person was currently in the office to buy replacement parts for his Soldering Iron. This sparked the idea of offering rebuild kits to our customers. We know you are all Smart Humans who can complete these repairs yourself if provided with the parts. This kit includes a battery, tip, bulb, and instructions. It is worth noting repairing any iron requires another soldering iron in order to install the battery.

If you’ve ever had trouble charging your electronic device, the problem could be with the charging port. Iso-Tip’s Model #8000 soldering iron is a great option for fixing a charging port. When pairing Iso-Tip soldering irons with the right tip, the user has the ability to perform precision work quickly.

A review from grayfurnaceman on YouTube brought up one of our most frequent questions we receive - Why use an incandescent soldering iron bulb with all of the benefits of an LED bulb?

The answer is kind of simple yet some of you may question it. The cost efficiency just isn’t there. The cost of a micro-LED soldering iron bulb is significantly higher than just a simple incandescent. So rather than charge every customer for the LED soldering iron bulb we placed the ball in your court. Finding a LED replacement is easy and we have the instructions on how to convert to an LED soldering iron bulb.

As I am sure many of you reading this know, we make amazing soldering irons. Many of you have also asked why we don't use a LED soldering iron bulb.

Of course we’re going to say our tools are great, but so do our loyal customers! Here’s one review we received about our older S.I. model that we still service TODAY!

“AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE…Hi there. I don’t normally write to companies like this, but I thought you would like to hear this. I purchased my model S.I. cordless soldering iron around 1973 when I was in college and since then it has been my “go to” soldering iron for everything. I have replaced the batteries numerous times and even added an LED to show when it was properly seated in the charging station. It’s nice to have something that always works and has lasted all these years. Thanks for making a good product.”

Most of our customers are really smart humans…after all they bought from us and they know how to fix stuff. As a loyal Iso-Tip customer, you have several options when replacing the battery. First option is to just send it in to us and let us go through the tool, then test and repair anything else the iron or charger may need.

Recently, we had an Iso-Tip customer share with us that he had to repair a school’s PA sound system. Given the small wire and hard to reach location, he found our battery powered cordless soldering iron design with our extended micro tip to be a great match for the job! At the end of the day, he has to help keep those rascals in line at school, and keep himself out of the principal’s office.

Check out his thoughts on our website here:

Over time wires may disconnect, or upgrades to systems need to be done. We’ve been told the ISO-TIP battery powered soldering irons have been a great tool.

Folks who use our butane tools commonly ask us what’s the best butane to use when filling up on my tool? The higher the quality the butane, the better performance butane tool. Over at Iso-Tip we prefer to use Master Appliance’s butane as it has a low number of impurities. This is really the only difference in different brands of butane. The lower the number of impurities, the better. We recommend using a butane that has less than 50 PPM impurities. Learn more about good quality butane on our website!

This quick guide to butane will help you determine if the butane you're looking to buy is of good enough quality for your tool.

THROWBACK THURSDAY! Once upon a time Iso-Tip, formerly known as Wahl Sterling or Wahl Clipper, provided customers with a desoldering tool. This item did go obsolete over the years before Senasys acquired the product line. Because we sell Tools Worth Discovering, we get to see these obsolete products from the 1970s still in working condition.

Check out this artifact on our website, and share with us how long you’ve been using the ISO-TIP brand below.

We had a customer contact us regarding his desoldering tool. We weren't able to help with his needs, but he was willing to share images of his tool.

Silver Bearing Solder Paste & Zinc Alloy - Does it work? Zinc alloy is a pretty broad range of materials and so the first answer was – we don’t know. That’s pretty weak so we found a zinc die cast part we use and tested it. This was a Zinc AG40A die cast, un-plated material. We tested the silver bearing solder paste in some porous sections and between the threads. In both cases the paste did not adhere well to the zinc die cast. We tried again on a nickel-plated zinc part and got the same results.

Check them out here:

Over at Iso-Tip, we tested some different material types with our Model #7459 Silver Bearing Solder Paste. Check out the results!
