RadioShack Butane-Powered Mini Soldering Iron

I agree with all the reviews because this IS AN AWESOME PRODUCT. But it does sell out too quickly and takes too replenish stock. It would be nice if Radio Shack had capabilities of offering a repair kit for this product, (i.e. tip, hose, o rings to name a few). But item does get the job done like its electrical counterparts.

I freaking love this torch.... I’ve had two in my life, one still works, that lasted 20 years plus..... But then, the inevitable happened, it broke.... I thought I’d never be able to buy another if it broke but I just found the radioshack.com site and there it was.... mini butane soldering torch.... I will order two just in case...

Great product Useful little tool. Fast shipping.

Best in the business I use mine almost every day, always dependable. I've owned every torch on the market,none as good as this one.

Great tool Excellent tool for repair

Best soldering tool I've ever bought I bought one of these around 13 years ago give or take from a Radio Shack store by my house and to this day it still works great! Very durable and reliable looking forward to buying a couple more just in case I can never find it again.

The absolute best! There’s a reason why these babies sell out, it’s because they’re the best! I bought 3 just to have extra backups. I also highly suggest using a high end filtered butane. If you use the torch, good butane helps keep the top from clogging.

The Very Best on the market today!! I purchased mine to use patching pin holes in water coils on very large industrial HVAC units. Have tried other brands (same exact style and build), none have came close to performing as well as this one. An after 7 years,yes 7 years I’ll still put it up against any other new one on the market today.

go to soldering tool been using it for years... finally wore down and bought a new one. great quality pocket soldering iron! wish there were more tip options. a chisel tip would be nice. the conical one that comes with it works great for most applications though

Awesome The best!

Excellent Product - Why so hard to find? As almost all other users reviews, I also think that this is the best product of its kind I’ve ever owned. But, since every Radio Shack in NYC closed, sadly due to its Executives unable to see the changing environment of the marketplace and unwilling to adapt, the only other retailer I’m able to purchase this torch from is the very Corp that led to the toppling of Radio Shack, A______.com. Unfortunately, it cost approximately $10 more and then, u must purchase the gas torch tip for another $10! This makes it too expensive for me but then, learning I cud again purchase it from RadioShack.com, my excitement was thwarted as it is constantly unavailable. I truly would love to know if the maker simply cannot produce enough or if RadioShack still can’t adapt to the market? It’s a very popular product, ur constantly out of stock thus losing a pretty large number of sales transactions. Again, a superb product that I highly recommend. And again, RadioShack, please hire execs that can make ur Corp successful. It’s sad to watch.

5 Stars Product/1 Star Availability I've purchased several of these soldering irons over the past few years. For myself,friends & family, with % satisfaction. The one I purchased for myself over ten years ago has started acting up, so I need to buy another one. I'm disappointed to see that it says, Sold Out-Online. Buying online has been my only option, since our local stores were shut down a few years ago

Best I have use, perfur it over ones I've paid 3 times more for. Best I have used, prefer it over ones I've paid 3 times as much for.

Excellent product. Slow delivery. Excellent product. Slow delivery, but didn't pay for delivery either.

Best one of it's size True to form this a true work horse and I would recommend it to anyone. I bought this one from Radio Shack when they were still brick and mortar in my town and loved it to death, literally. Then bought two different knock offs that looked almost identical and they both fizzled out and broke down and quit straight off. Plus I had to buy a separate torch nozzle at a substantial cost. But not this one! this one is the real deal.

fan-damn-tastic best ever bar none in 21 yrs im on my 4th one now not because they ever fail because they never dobut because other techs see it and think it should accidently go home with them. ITS ONLY ONE ILL EVER BUY (OR borrow or use) Anything else is TRASH!!!

Best torch ever! This is by far the best butane torch ever. Never have a problem with it and so easy to use. A must have for anyone who does craft projects. I have nothing negative to say about it.... my only problem is making sure my husband doesn't swipe it for his tool box

Awesome! I LOVE this torch. This is the BEST torch I have found for my craft projects. Always works and so easy to use. I do not have anything negative to say about this torch. Its just that awesome.

butane soldering irons Outstanding product

Worthwhile Addition to Toolkit Nice tool and valuable when you are on the road and not necessarily next to a 110 volt outlet. I carry mine in my car toolkit wherever I go.

radioshack did it again i have got butane soldering irons from all over !! some that cost over a hundred dollers, like my weller !! but the best investment i have ever made is my radioshack mini butane soldering iron !!!! i have one thats over 12 years old,,i just put a new tip on it....and its still going strong !!!!!!!! and because its a real good deal, i went ahead and purchased me a new one, they look good in my collection think you very much radioshack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice customer service Had one of these forever and loved it till i lost it. Order another it worked for a week so i called customer service and they replaced it within a week now i am again. Ty radio shack

Very handy little soldering Iron Very nice, well made large tank for a small butane soldering iron. Highly recommend.

functionality Only used it once so far but worked well (haven't tried the torch tip yet.) I had an older Radio Shack one that I purchased (back in the '90s I think) and was a bit larger but also worked well. Recently loaned it to somebody and never got it back :(

nice tool Very handy, Works great, Happy with purchase!

love it best butane gas powered iron ever

None Better.....Period. This is the best..... most dependable torch I have ever owned (Hands Down...Large or Small). I purchased an additional (2) torches as backup for the same torch I have been using for the past 5 years (and I use it a lot). There is only (1) drawback to this item that I would like to see remedied, and that would be the availability of additional flints for the torch cap (they are a bit smaller than standard lighter flints). Even at that, I give it 5 stars all day long.

when is this coming back in stock? this is the best soldering torch and i can't imagine purchasing anything other.

Awsome! Love this gadget not only can I solder my wires but change out tips and use the torch to shrink wrap the solder joints. Handy as heck. Can't wait to replace my almost 2 year old unit, flame is getting dull.

Worth it !!! I've used this device at least every other day on my job as a security systems troubleshooter..... there are repair applications that require nothing less. Great Product Has Saved My Bacon Hundreds of Times !!!!!

have had for years This is my favorite torch/solder iron of all time ! I've owned several over the past 10+ years. Eventually the torch end acts like it's plugged up or dirty . The flame gets smaller and turns like a cigarette lighter, until it finally stops igniting...There hopefully will always be another to purchase because no other holds a candle to this !

Best sodering iron This is the best soldering iron you can buy. Great for those small jobs

Rigerous use for 11 months, Still kickin! Hi let me first talk about the torch user, a determined hard worker who doesn't give up easily and who skips even meals to finish a project as well as throwing things that don't work across the room or even out my front door. Now lets talk about the radio shack butane torch, Upon first sight on Youtube I was enthralled with the Idea of a wireless torch, no power plug wires to melt on accident so I bought one This thing is awesome I Love It! it has a storage cap, Kick stand for in between soldering wires and what not. no wires to rest the torch on or to pull and tug on the torch when you set it down for a minute while its hella hot. its refillable, bonus! Now one day the little brass refill plug popped out while i had it put away but it was easily fixable by taking a plug from a cheap refillable lighter and stuffing it in the hole. I didn't even need glue, perfect fit. And after 11 months the ceramic part that heats up warming the metal tip has apparently disintegrated to about 1/3 its original size, In reality I didn't expect it to last after the plug came out that was about 6 months of ownership even at that time while bummed I was still going to buy another one i got mine at radio shacks store front in San Diego for about 21.00 plus tax and in a few days I will be purchasing a couple new tips for it. 5/5

Unbeatable Best around. I've had mine for quite a while and no complaints. I replace the flint with a small Bic lighter's flint. If I had one wish it would be an easier way to replace the flint. Otherwise, best little thing yet.....

The shack is back Glad to see RadioShack coming back I've had one of these soldering irons for a long time only problem is the flint to light it needs improved other then that huge fan I'll be ordering a new one here soon
