How far (a measurement) can you put this from your soldering smoke? The Xytronic 426DLX has about a 5 inch limit but no one said on this one.

It depends on how you are using it. Ideally you want it on some sort of boom mount as it works better above than beside the piece you are soldering. Also, if you lay the unit down it has decreased distance. I have found that it is good for up to eight to ten inches beside the work you are doing in the upright mode. The fan is really powerful for such a small unit.

Hakko indicated that there was not an exact measurement. They did state that you would want to put this on top of the bench. Close enough to absorb the smoke.

My knobs are far enough away from the burners for this not to be a problem. This sounds like a question for the manufacturer.

I use mine to check temps on cooking surfaces. The furthest I've tried it is around 3 feet. Sorry I'm of no help to you for your application.

We bought 6 of these and needed longer leads on 2 of them. So I cut and spliced 8' of wire on 2 of them making the leads 10' long on each. We tested the temps against the factor 4- and all 6 units were all winthin a 00.4 degree range. ( the spliced being .4 lower than the highest factory wire) It worked very good to splice them. It is important that the splices are soldered, not twisted or butt spliced

I think there is a factory recommended "duty cycle" for solder guns. I don't know of any manufacturer who will advise long term heavy usage. It will eventually burn out. They can generate a tremendous amount of dangerous heat internally.

This is much longer than you need to do this. You do not want to overlap it as it will melt and die....I know.

there is a plug that is attached to a lead that is approximately one and a half inches. I clipped the plug off and soldered to the leads directly

I cannot answer definitively for your situation because I use it in quite a large workshop which has a smoke detector about ten feet away. However having said that I have been impressed at the way it gets rid of smoke and fumes from soldering. It seems to absorb all visible smoke. I do find it a bit noisy but I may notice that more than others because I often have music or the radio on while I work so it becomes a distraction. My feeling is that it would probably work quite well in your situation. If space is at a premium I would definitely consider getting the version on the sprung arm that can be swung over work and then swung away again like a desk lamp. I find it uses up a bit too much bench space but then again I have a messy workbench. I hope this helps.

New battery's, many walls in between ? Interference ? I have my smoker on the back porch, 50 feet away and 4-5 walls in between and never had a problem. Maybe defective ? I do remeber reading about two models and they looked identical but one had very limited range by the reviews I read. Good luck.

I would have no idea. I do know that it does pull solder fumes through the unit very well.

Like the other respondant I can't give you an exact number but it melts well with my ancient 25-way soldering iron. A great replacement for old fashioned 60/40 Pb - based some solder

14 1/2 inches minimum. Leaves about 1/2 inch at bottom. Mine worked great until I started folding it up to get it out of the way. Must effect the wiring as it quit working.

I don't see why you couldn't- the probes come out of the base and that transmits to the handheld thermometer.. You will need a shelf or a stand or something near the smoker that you can put that base on - obviously outside the smoker where it's not hot... Since the temps are usually low when smoking I don't think you'll need to worry too much about the internal heat affecting the probe or wire - it will be the placement of the base will be your issue..hope that makes sense?

The gauge's stem is 1-3/4" long. If a 1/2" hole is drilled as recommended, the gauge will thread into the hole and the final reach into your smoker or grill will be 2-1/4". Hope this helps.

It works great, it pulls any smoke away from your face. It works great and is very well priced. Remember the smoke from soldering is from the flux not the lead or tin or silver in the solder it's self. You don't solder at a high enough temperature to make dangerous gasses. But it's nice to keep the smoke away from your face and this device does a great job. Get it, you will not be disappointed. I solder a lot and I love it.

I love my Pyrex Probe Timer. I have this exact one and my metal cord is 44 inches from the end to the beginning of the probe. Plenty long enough. Hope this helps.

I lent my shroud to my neighbor to finish up a project so I cannot measure. I used a 4 inch DeWalt. The shroud was plenty big, so I think 4.5 should go too. Mine worked out real nice on my job.
