BernzeOMatic Soldering Iron

[Hank70SS]

Anyone ever use one? I was adding the extra wires for the gauge conversion I'm doing on the dash. The new wires they supplied weren't crimped very well to the connectors and a few pulled loose. May son had one of these in his tool cart so I thought I'd give it try. It's about 10" long and I think the fluid is butane, didn't notice. You turn on the gas, push up a slide and light it. When you let go of the slide the flame goes out but the gas continues to burn, just a red glow. Anyway it heats up really fast and was perfect for soldering the small wire to the connector. Heated up the connector and melted the solder very quickly, before the insulation started to melt and shrivel up.

Don't know how much it cost but it's a great tool. No cords laying around, heats up quickly and is perfect for soldering crimped on connectors.

It's BernzOMatic, not BernzeOMatic.
