How good is the iron rejection on the F2? Will it null out and remain silent on iron nails and small iron spikes?

Yes, you can discriminate those out. But the flipside is it will make pinpointing more difficult. You are looking for a repeatable signal and any discrimination with the F2 will compromise this. I finally had to go all metal mode to have any success, but you may be different. Good luck.

Yes, updated to fw 1.2 last week and my batteries still work. Sorry for not posting sooner.

I think the F2 is designed mostly for coins and it is an excellent machine for coin shooting. I have used my f2 on wet sand and underwater and it seems to work fine, but I found coins, not gold. I haven't tried to find gold with it.

I have used my iron regularly and have not had a single problem with it. I would recommend this product as it functions well, the sole plate remains clean, and it is easy to maneuver.

I honestly haven't noticed any design flaws. This works better than any other iron I have ever owned. What have you noticed?

Speed selection is fine on mine. My problem is the front face (head with led lamps, etc) of the driver keeps comming off. Held on by teo screws and no matter what I do to try and keep in place, it keeps coming off about once a week. Assume you are having problems with your trigger? Good luck

The feet did not raise up on the first iron I ordered. I called the vendor and had them replace it. The feet "stick" on my second iron every once in awhile. Then again, I use a lot of starch, not to mention I use it everyday in my business. When the feet do stick, I turn it completely off and unplug it for 5-10 minutes. This seems to do the trick. After trying this and the feet still do not raise I would suggest calling the vendor and asking for a replacement.

I didn't see anything in the instructions that said I had to wait for the iron to cool. I retract it just after shut off and have not had any problems. I have used this iron over a dozen times and it is working great. No problems with cord storage hot or cooled.

Anything past 10 to 12x gets abit hazy. Reticle also isnt as sharp. But for the price u cant beat it. Hold zero. I shoot at 200 yard on my ptr

Sorry to say that I had the same trouble with mine. I ran the pressure up to 110 and it started to drive the nails. Just to add I thought this gun would shoot staples but only pin nails. Wish I had better news for you.

I use mine very infrequently (once per mo.?). 5 mos. old and it will not melt solder so I'm online looking for a manual or video for the procedure of recalibrating it...no luck yet but I just started my search. *Update: Okay, it's not anything to do with calibration (I found nothing in the mini-manual...LOL...good gravy). It's not certain yet but another iron may need to be purchased to fix this one....uggghhhh....Does anyone have any good reviews for another iron of medium to high wattage for motherboard work?

Can you or anyone who has used this iron beyond its initial period tell me if it has begun to "spew", leak or sputter? I have had several Rowenta irons in the past and they invariably sputter and drip eventually and create lots of ironing headaches. How is this one doing after owning it for a longer time? Thanks.

Sorry Andrew, I have not used the iron at low temp. I'd give it a shot, but I'm away from home.

When you first plug it in it will not heat up unless you actually press the button(s) selecting which fabric/temperature you will be pressing. If you are idle for a while and the iron is not being used then the iron shuts itself off. I have only had this iron two months and it is already malfunctioning - while I am ironing/pressing, it will shut itself off and I have to re-press the button selection to get it going again. I am looking into buying an iron with a separate water resevoir so I can have continuous steam while pressing.

I've used this iron off and on for several months and I see no wear on the tip. I wouldn't sweat the tip, it's the short battery life that is the biggest drawback.

Not really a fix, But you push F2 on boot up and go in setup and go to the Advanced tab and look under "Adapter Warnings" and disable it by hitting enter and down and enter again, Then hit F10 then enter, It will disable that annoying message when you start it up. It used to pop up on mine but I disabled the warning and have had no issues, Even works as good as the original if not better because this replacement held up longer then the original

You can select to turn off this function, I assume you've done this by accident. While the sight is blank press and hold the power/trigger button. Keep it held in and it will cycle through the options wait until you get jolt with yards or meters. You will know when jolt is selected as it will vibrate
