Is this a heat-resistant material? Not fire proof, just heat resistant. I am wanting to store soldering equipment inside.

This toolbox is made with a heat molded plastic, and the water seals are made from a soft rubber, both of which make the box vulnerable to any source of intense heat. If you intend to store soldering equipment without allowing the equipment to adequately cool itself first, I would recommend an aluminum or stainless steel toolbox.

Hmmmmmm.... I wouldn't immediatly after. Maybe give it 5 or so min?!? I am not sure there would be anything heat resistant that would do the same job!

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.

All I can say is the door should close tight, in order to be fire proof. If loose heat would buid inside enough to start burning inside. My door close very tight. You should be ok for theft, against minor theives. These will not keep out an expert safe person. Like mine for what it is, it will work fine for what I use it for. Also keep important papers, etc in bank safe deposit box.

No. It is neither water nor fire proof. Although it would resist flames for a few seconds or maybe a minute, it is just metal with no insulation for fire proofing. There are no water seals so it is not water proof, although if you spilled a glass of water on it, the water probably would not get inside.

I doubt they are fire proof.they are made from either wood or a light weight resin..not metal.

lots of pre drilled and coated holes for mounting, minimal heat...it's a skinny little fluorescent tube ...it's an electronic appliance anything with electricity can cause a fire under less than optimal conditions... if worried about it maybe build a mount with metal and provide an airspace behind it... and mount to fire resistant material...but I personally believe neither to be necessary with this item... or the smaller hydrofarm 2 bulb fixture...

Two keys come with the safe. They are "barrel" style so I don't know if you could get any more made at a typical hardware store. Storing photos - or disks with backups of digital photos are a good idea. I am not sure how they would survive the heat of an actual fire however. That would be a question for the makers of the safe.

No you should never use material that is not specifically fire proof inside of a computer

It does say NOT to put heated items like grills on it. And the top is clearly not made to be heat resistant. That said, I'll admit that I used a pretty heavy duty 1800W electric grill on it outdoors without issue or warping after a few uses.

I've never tried, but probably not. For a dual-purpose gun that is used for electrical work as well as structural soldering, that would not be a particularly strong selling point. You are probably looking for welding or brazing tools, not soldering guns, if you want to actually melt wiring.

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

I use mine for mig welding and they are awesome - perfect for mig welding. But they are not strictly speaking fire-proof.

I don't know how it could withstand a house fire. I am terribly disappointed in mine. The hinge pins are made of plastic. It would appear to me that they would melt fairly quickly and there would be no structural integrity. I guess they have tested it, and their claims are accurate. But, the top fell off of mine after a year of use. I would not trust it with my important documents. I now use mine to store odds and ends that have no value.

if it requires 1100 degree solder this is not that high of a melting point it is usually 450-750 degrees as it has a small amount of tin in it. hope this will help...

When the other answer speaks of heat resistance and puncture resistance, it is moot just because for 15 dollars, small burns in the top surface are not at all a worry. If you were to leave your soldering iron on the mat it might melt but that is something to try to avoid.

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.
