With its versatile functionality, robust construction, and innovative features, it is an ideal tool for tasks ranging from automotive repairs to intricate electronics work. The kit is equipped with a variety of accessories, making it a comprehensive solution for soldering, brazing, heat shrinking, and cutting tasks. Below is an in-depth description of the product, its features, specifications, and applications.

Key Features

Superior Power and Performance

• High Power Output (30–125W Equivalent): The Solderpro 180 delivers a power range equivalent to 30–125 watts, making it suitable for demanding tasks such as soldering heavy-gauge cables, battery terminals, and shielding works. Its high output ensures efficient performance for both small-scale and large-scale projects.

• Cordless and Portable Design: Powered by butane gas, the Solderpro 180 eliminates the need for an electrical power source, offering total portability. This makes it ideal for fieldwork, remote locations, or situations where access to electricity is limited. Its compact and lightweight design enhances mobility without compromising durability.

• Patented LEC (Liquid Energy Cell) Technology: The kit features Iroda’s patented Liquid Energy Cell (LEC) system, a removable and refillable fuel cell that enhances safety and reliability. The LEC system allows for easy refueling with standard butane, and its design ensures consistent performance even in low-temperature environments. The inclusion of two LEC fuel cells enables users to swap out an empty cell for a full one, minimizing downtime during extended work sessions.

• Rapid Ignition and Heat-Up: With auto-ignition and a piezo ignition system, the Solderpro 180 is ready to use in just 30 seconds after ignition, allowing for quick setup and efficient workflow. The tool reaches a maximum tip temperature of 750°F or 250–550°C for soldering and up to 2400°F or 1,300°C when used as a torch, catering to a wide range of applications.

Extended Operation

• Extended Operation Time: A single LEC fuel cell provides up to 100–140 minutes of continuous operation at mid-setting, making it suitable for long working hours without frequent refills. The tool’s quick-refill system supports any standard butane gas, ensuring ease of maintenance.

Multi-Function Versatility

• Versatile Multi-Function Tips: The kit includes four interchangeable tips, each designed for specific tasks:

  • PS-50 (7mm Chisel Tip): Ideal for heavy-duty soldering tasks, such as automotive and industrial cable repairs. Dimensions: Thickness 2.5mm, Top 9.7mm, Length 50mm, Bottom Ø14.5mm.

  • PS-60 (1.8mm Conical Tip): Perfect for precision soldering, suitable for electronics, PCBs, and small appliances. Dimensions: Tip Ø1.8mm, Length 50mm, Bottom Ø14.5mm.

  • PS-70 (Hot Air Blower Tip): Used for heat shrinking and 3D finishing. Dimensions: Top Ø10mm, Length 30.5mm, Bottom Ø14.5mm.

  • PS-80 (Deflector Tip): Designed for heat deflection tasks, such as heat shrinking and foam cutting.

  • These tips can be swapped quickly using a fast-removal locking nut, allowing seamless transitions between  soldering, torch, hot air blowing, and cutting functions.

Durable and Ergonomic Design

• Ergonomic and Durable Construction: The Solderpro 180 features a self-standing, cushioned pistol grip with a soft-touch finish and one-handed controls for enhanced comfort and ease of use. Its angled head design improves visibility and precision during operation. The body is constructed from high-tech polymers with an internal metal frame and ceramic components, ensuring durability and precision over extended use.

• Hands-Free Design: The self-standing design allows for hands-free operation, which is particularly useful for heat shrinking and other tasks requiring stable positioning. This feature enhances efficiency and safety during complex projects.

Applications

The Solderpro 180 Kit is designed for a wide range of professional and hobbyist applications, including:

• Recommended:

  • Automotive, Truck, and Aviation Repairs: Ideal for heavy-gauge cable repairs and battery terminal soldering.

  • Electronics: Suitable for PCBs, small appliances, audio systems, and indoor lighting.

  • Hobby and Craft Projects: Perfect for 3D finishing, model building, and jewelry work.

  • Heat Shrinking and Foam Cutting: Efficient for heat shrink tubing and precise cutting tasks.

  • Marine and Electrical Work: Reliable for marine electronics and electrical repairs.

• Acceptable:

  • Radio-controlled models, small engine repairs, and general crafts.

• Not Recommended:

  • Wet surfaces or underwater applications due to the butane-powered design.

Safety and Maintenance

• Maintenance: For optimal performance, use high-quality butane gas to prevent clogging of the internal fuel filter. Cleaning the filter with isopropyl alcohol (e.g., T3035 solution) is recommended.

• Safety Warning: This product produces chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm when used for soldering.

• Safety and Reliability: The LEC fuel cells are designed to meet high and low-temperature safety standards, with an internal butane filter to prevent clogging and ensure consistent performance. The water-resistant piezo ignition system and high-quality ceramic components further enhance reliability. Additionally, the removable LEC cells allow for secure and legal transport by air, train, or other public transportation.

• Warranty: Includes a 1-year warranty on manufactured parts under normal use
