Anything with a base unit with provision to maintain a stable temperature, pump air in either direction, etc., is often called a "station" (preceded by rework, soldering, desoldering, hot air); one, or sometimes more, tools may be connected to a station, e.g., a rework station may accommodate a soldering iron and hot air head.
Harbor Freight Tools won a declassification of the class action; that is, the court found that all the individual situations were not similar enough to be judged as a single class, and that their claims would require an individual-by-individual inquiry, so the case could not be handled on a class basis.
Different tools are used for different applications and soldering stations may be equipped with more than one of them at a time. The main tools for soldering are: contact soldering irons; desoldering tweezers or SMD hot tweezers; desoldering gun; hot air gun; infrared heater. Soldering iron is the most common working tool of a soldering station.
Harbor Freight Tools for Schools awards $1.5 million to skilled trades teachers and their schools annually. [ 10 ] Marking the opening of the 500th Harbor Freight Tools store near Chicago , Smidt announced the contribution of $100,000 and the donation of tools to Chicago Public Schools to support teachers and students in skilled trades learning ...
A 1948 advertisement for a Weller soldering gun. Pistol-grip electrically-heated soldering tools had been used since the 1920s. In 1941 Carl E. Weller invented and later obtained U.S. patent 2,405,866 [1] for a transformer-based soldering tool which heated and cooled rapidly, [2] essentially as described in this article.
Electric soldering iron A gas-fired soldering iron. A soldering iron is a hand tool used in soldering. It supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces. A soldering iron is composed of a heated metal tip (the bit) and an insulated handle.
A soldering gun heats a small cross-section copper tip very quickly by conducting a large AC current through it using a large cross-section one-turn transformer; the copper tip then conducts the heat to the part like other soldering irons.
A ColdHeat soldering iron. ColdHeat was an American company founded to develop and market products using the proprietary graphite-like compound Athalite.The composite material is claimed by the manufacturer to have the unusual ability to conduct large amounts of heat and return to room temperature in a short amount of time.
