Has anyone tried these with the J&amp;L 60 watt Soldering Iron?

Yes it works as good as any soldering iron I have used the stamps and whole set-up is 1st Class!

Yes they will work. Have a good soldering iron and some help during the change on the circuit board.

Turned all the way up it gets hotter than most 40-60W pencils. If that isn't enough you can get the torch tip. That gives you the most heat, but you need to get the metal hot enough to melt the solder.

Dear Chuck,I may presume that you already have some tips and want to know if you need to purchase more. The diameter of the tips that are inserted into the heating element is 0.190". The length 1.700". If you are going to do a lot of soldering, like every day for years, I suggest that you buy a set and save the shipping charges later of the ones you may have don't fit. The extra tips are not alike but for different soldering purposes. Bob

This is an Electronics Soldering Iron, and is not for the use that you want. I would suggest a very strong Epoxy.

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

I own two of these, and I solder copper to steel and aluminum to steel. This is the most powerful electric soldering iron I've ever found. Just make sure you use the right flux for the soldering you are doing. You might also try a small butane torch if your work piece is large.

All I can tell you is thats it's junk. Mine worked for about 10min and hasn't worked any more. Replaced it with a webber never a problem The soldering iron will work with the webber.

I use this silver solder with a electric soldering iron, works real good as long as your irons heat range will melt it. Ron

These use Hakko elements and should be compatible with Hakko tips as well so you should be able to pick up tips in the universal fitting at any electronics store that carries a decent soldering selection or on amazon

Hi Brad, sure should work seamless for the 60 W LED. In general, I would always stay ca. 30% below the max. Watts given by the manufacturers of such devices because of temperature issues. Other than that, I use this one for one year now without any problem. Hope this helps.Best regardsPatric

I use a 100/160watt Weller soldering gun for electronic soldering jobs. It handles everything I've soldered, up to 14 guage wire easily.This gun is 200Watts. I suspect it would be like trying to use a blow torch. You might try something in the 30 to 75 watt range. Called both soldering pencils or soldering irons.If you can swing the extra cost, look for a 'soldering station', better models have an adjustable heat range. You can set to heat to exactly the temp you need.

Nope, you need to solder them on but it's actually really easy--it was my first time as well. I bought the following soldering iron which worked very well: Weller SP40NKUS 40 Watt LED Soldering Iron Kit, Red/Black You basically use it to melt the solder off of the old capacitors and pull them out and then insert the new capacitors and solder them on. My TV has worked perfectly since I completed the job a few weeks ago.

U can solder stripped/cleaned ends together and use heat shrink sleeves. Or use twist caps, which I'd not recommend.

The first time I used a soldering iron was when I re-soldered broken wiring into the boards of two sets of solar Christmas lights. This soldering iron proved precise enough to reconnect all the wiring. The sets all work again. So yes is the answer.

Not yet. I don't use them for soldering. They are to hold plastic parts for building model kits for my railroading hobby. In looking at them, they look to be made of nylon base material. Not sure the melting point of nylon, but I would guess a solding gun or pencil could melt them.

I think these tips are only for Elenco-brand soldering irons. I you want to use these tips, Elenco has a nice solder station on Amazon for $35. Here is the link: Elenco SL5K40 Solder Station Kit with 40-watt Iron
