We have bought two of 852D, both of them are having problems with the soldering gun. The plastic nuts are worn out very soon, do you have replacements

I have had mine for a little more than 1 year and i have never had any problems with mine. Remember that the barrel sleeve nut does not have to be very tight.

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?

best bet is to buy a new replacement----the new ones are very reasonable----or pick up a used one on craig's list-------

I've dropped melted solder on it and there were no problems. I'd think if you touched the hot soldering iron to it briefly there might be a little burn or melted spot.

Yeah mine still works perfict but I didnt get the one with the light I found out my brother has this same screw driver and he loves his and it still works it may have just been bad luck on your part sorry about that see if you can get a replacement.

I have the same problem. I wound up buying a DeWalt battery, it has no problems.

SAME PROBLEM HERE.. CONTACTED THE VENDOR WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPONSE OR FOLLOWUP.. In my opinion it's a piece of crap.. I replaced it with Weller ML500MP Mini Butane Soldering Iron.. it works..

if you desolder you can probably get two maybe three times then it will start to wear out....i recommend getting ahold of a practice board and some non zinc solder its a lot less messy

Look up Coasters email and let them know. I had a problem with the fastenrs and they offered to replace them. you shouldn't have a problem

I have not had that issue. My guess (and it's only a guess) is that some type of plastic gear stripped and that you did nothing wrong in assembly. I hope you can get it resolved.

Mr. Fix says check with the manufactor for parts. If your handy try retrofitting the parts from a hardware store. How'd that break anyway? Good luck.

I've had two that I ordered recently and neither of them sounded like they had loose parts. Both have worked flawlessly. I'd send it back for a new one.

If brand new, did you cut away the plastic trigger band, which comes with new units and keeps the unit from firing during shipment? If that band is on, one cannot engage the motor.

Sorry, I have one but haven't needed and parts for it yet. I'm curious though, what parts have failed for you?

Shoot the supplier an email. Worst case scenario: just buy a new one locally.
