Hi, what is the approximate temperature range (min/max) for this unit? Can I use it in place of a 15 watt pencil iron?

The range on the soldering iron is 200C-480C (392F-896F), so it should be suitable for smaller devices for which you would use a 15 watt pencil iron. Just double check to make sure the temperature your pencil iron operates at is within that range and you should be good to go.

Put your pencil in the drawer or give it to your older kids to replace their 50's wood-burning kit.This is a 70 watt 24V pencil, with digital temperature control, feedback, and auto-shutoff feature.Tip-To-Ground Resistance is 2 ohms, Tip-To-Ground Potential < 2mVThe temperature range is 200C to 480CThis also has a hot air pen for SMT soldering, HASL, and applying shrink-tubing to connections.

The iron setting is 180C to 480C. I'm not sure what the average temp on a 15W pen would be.

Wattage does not reflect temperature. A low wattage iron can have a very high temperature. That being said... the temperature range is 365F - 895F and should work fine for any general soldering task.

Never a gun on computers. 20 Watt iron, or dual heat in the low of 15 watts and high of 40 Watts ( 40 watts too high for circuit boards).

The temperatures go from 300-450. I, too, have fine hair and with other irons have had problems with the plate being different temperatures on the edges from the middle, which ultimately let to serious hair damage. I have not experienced this at all with this iron.

According to the manufactuers website, it ranges from 122F-392F. The heat is controlled by simple up and down buttons on the unit with a display to show you the approximate heat the tip will be. You can have two different tools plugged in with different temps as well. It's a great little unit for the price.

The sticker on the bottom of the unit says 120V60Hz1500W. The instruction booklet says temperatures range from about 250 degrees F on Low and 400 degrees F on High. I hope this is what you are looking for.

Temperature goes from 150F to 450F Timer: 0-150 mins; after 150 minutes it will enter the standby mode.The power will completely shut off within 1 second if either: (A) The wrong type of cookware is used. OR (B) No cookware is placed on the unit. *USE WITH INDUCTION COMPATIBLE COOKWARE* *Compatible Pans/Pots: Cast iron, enameled iron, stainless steel. Flat bottom pans/pots with diameter of 5" to 10" (12-22 cm). *Non-Compatible Pans/Pots:*% Heat resistant glass, ceramic container, copper, aluminum. Round bottom pans/pots with diameter less than 5" (12 cm). CulinaryCookware and Equipment

1700 watts - That is why I bought the iron,it has more heat than most with 1400 watts. Excellent iron, best I've ever owned in my 80 years of life!

Don't know about this unit (the Hakko), but I've done a fair amount of copper-foil stained glass with my temperature-controlled (i.e. same idea as this Hakko) 50 watt Weller iron, and that has worked out really well. I think you don't really need the high wattage that some think, you just need the automatic temperature control which feeds power as it is needed. I haven't used it for came lead, but for Tiffany style it is likely to work well. I suggest you buy it with a broad tip for best heat flow.

NO, it won't get that hot, you need a forge for that. Lead has a much lower melting point.

This product will not have "too much power". Please don't confuse "iron watts" with "thermal energy" applied to integrated circuits. Think of iron watts as the speed and ability to maintain a steady tip temperature. Once the tip temperature is at the set point, the unit will pulse power to the iron only as needed to maintain the temperature. The more watts an iron has available, the faster it will heat up to the set point so you can get to work faster after power on. When an iron touches a component, thermal energy is transferred from the tip to the component and the temperature is lowered, so power is used by the unit to reheat the tip to the set point. Again, the more power a unit has available then the quicker the tip (and what it's touching) rises to the set point. For example, if you need to solder a heat sink tab to a board, then an iron with higher power (watts) will be able to draw more power to rapidly heat the tab to a proper temperature thereby preventing surrounding parts from becoming heat damaged. In conclusion, all other things being equal, the more power available to the iron the better and more efficient the soldering. Hope this helps!

Hello Kevin,I do not know what the max current for this device is! But by the power cord it looks like it should be able to handle 15 amps. I use it for heat lamps and also 1500 watt heaters and so far I have had no problems. But you might want to check with the manufacturer of the unit. I have a couple of them and planning on buying a couple more. They are really handy. Good Luck, Gary

No, the tip is way to large and the heat too high for that type of work. I would buy a variable heat pencil style soldering iron.

Hmm, haven't tried this specifically, but I don't see why not. It's supposed to be good for up to 450 degrees (F), so I guess it depends on how hot you plan to get your cast iron.

Hi Alexis, you can adjust the temperature yourself. The temperatures range from 250F to 450F. This iron is great and it really does work on all kinds of hair. :)

A 40 watt soldering iron works... this Hakko sucks, to put it nicely. Do not bother.i carefully placed mine in the trash. really...

Not a good idea unless you are EXTREMELY attentive. Yes there is temperature control, however it goes from melting to burning based on intensity not actual degrees of temperature. I would suggest getting a hair dryer or and actual hot air gun as they are a little more user friendly when it comes to controlling the amount of heat you apply to your work. If you ever get into molding or fabricating of heavy plastics or light metal then this would be right up you alley, I bought it so I can do custom wiring without having to drag a corded unit around; the battery powered units in my opinion are useless unless you are in a pinch.

The adjustment knob does not specify a temperature -- and hot plates in general would not be rated in terms of temperature of the plate. The max power is 1000W.
