I've had my Sedu for 3 years now and it's still going strong. And when/if this one tanks, I'm buying another Sedu.

I used it primarily as an electric screwdriver. I don' think it would last long for real construction work.

Well, I don't know how long it will last. I've had mine for oh,six months or so. I use it every day more or less, and it's been fine! I think it's great that they INCLUDE a spare heating element right off the bat---so that when it does fail, you can keep on working whilst ya order another'n. The only thing that show wear on mine is the tip---that's normal---and they include lots o' spare tips!. I'm not sure what you mean by a "regular soldering iron", but this one is the only one I need. I am VERY pleased with its performance thus far.

I am not sure but its 1-5 years. I've had mine for over a year and I have 4 other similar products ( yard tools) by Fiskars for over 5 years and all still work and look great. Reason why I picked this product. I love mine and use very often.

Mine is usually good for 10-15 minutes, depending on how much you are working it.

I didn't use it for its original purpose, so I don't know how long it lasts. I suppose it depends on how much and how often you use it.

not sure. I bet if it was washed and clean of debris, it could last a while. go for it.

Gerber repaired this tool for me after 5 years of use no questions or proof of purchase date required. I was using the file to pry something and it snapped (my fault). The turn around time was very quick too. I realize it's not the exact answer to your question, but this was my experience.

I haven't had any problems with it this far. Assuming you don't trim the strip improperly, it should last quite a log time. I've used the stop for long and short durations without issue.

Mine lasted about five years, but they went bad because I accidentally stepped on the wire and pulled really hard, if you take good care of them they should last at least ten years imo.

As long as you aren't using too much pressure - which might cause the needles to break off - it will last a very long time. Just be sure to clean and properly dry after each use. Mine still looks in pristine brand new condition, but i'm VERY meticulous about proper cleaning and usage.

I bought this as a gift for someone who works on it as a hobby. I would say 3 to 6 months if you are only working on it on weekends in your spare time.

yes, it lasts longer than i thought. If you don't keep in on all the time, it will last quite a bit. I still use them.

It last a LONG time. My first one lasted for 1-2 years. The guide rod takes 4 mini watch batteries, simple to instal. Long as you don't leave it on, it will last for quite a while.

Depends on how much you use it. My sister uses her almost every day, and lasted for years. My last one lasted 2 years, but ony used it twice a month

I use it more frequently than my Ranger heat tool (which I also love, but which is slower when I am using a lot of embossing powder, or have thick wet medium). I have had it about a year, and I would say I use it weekly. Still going strong, and I expect it will do so for many years.

I purchased tool in 2007. I am estimating I use it 40 hours per year. So far, it still runs. I have trouble stepping on the power cord and pulling it out of the grommet. One day it will die and I would get another one. Wish I could be more exact for you.
