I'm looking for a soldering pen to solder armature wire together. Would this one be good for that?

Yes and it has a fine tip ,but gets hot quickly and does a great job ,I was amazed as my last one i got from lowes paid about 30 bucks for and was not half as good as this one

As the others have said you can definitely solder directly to the solder pads on the strips, and if it seems difficult to get a good connection remember flux is your friend.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.

This one is better for different types of solder. You can change the temperature, it's fast to heat and it stays at the temp you use last. Just don't forget about the other tips. They're about $15 for a genuine set. I use this brand to fix desktop towers.

NO, not designed for that function. A continuous heated solder Iron would work nicely.

Wirestrippers no problems. It depends on the which soldering iron. And no on the multimeter. It will not fit.

Thank you for quick answer. Also a second question, would this solder be good for long uses? And where would be a good site to look up, and learn the proper care for these tools?

I would assume so. If you mean use the soldering iron for jewelry, I would say it should work (I don't know anything about soldering jewelry). The iron has a very fine tip, as it comes with an electronics kit.

Yes, but this is overkill, possibly too hot. Just buy a regular soldering iron. You can find them for 10 bucks or so all day long!

Does it really matter? The device is meant to burn skin. If you are going to use it on something else, then you're better off with a soldering iron. The tip of the device is thinner than a paper clip.

Yeah its pretty standard rosin core solder. Its useful for what you need. It should get the job done.

It is a soldering station, that is what it is for, soldering. :) It has variable heat control so it would work GREAT! Soldering tips: Use the station set at 350c to solder. Do NOT use a thin round (pointed) tip as you would think you should use at first glance. It simply does not have the surface area and cannot hold the heat needed to solder as well. I suggest you use a small chisel/flat tip on ANY electronic project. Only use a small pointed tip if you physically cannot get the chisel into an area. Thin tips are simply not as good no matter what you are soldering, they simply require too much heat to get consistently hot at the proper temperatures. Always use thin solder, 60/40 or 63/37 (my favorite) multi-core flux. Get a good brand. No need for thick solder. Use a good cleaning pad or metal pad. Use a small fan to blow the solder fumes away as you solder. Wear goggles.

The pen is for wacomb digitizers. If those items use that digitizer it should work.

This did not come with solder. Any good rosin cored solder will work, I prefer thinner solders around .5mm.

Yes this will work for those applications. It is our best selling solder paste because of it's many uses

I don't know but just asking that question makes me think you are wanting a real soldering iron. This would not be the product for you in that case.

I wouldn't...too much heat needed to make the solder flow,your flux will burn before the solder flows and youll melt surrounding material and the solder will just run off.
