Yes. The iron included with the base plugs into the left side with a standard two-prong cord. The outlet itself, is a 3 prong grounded outlet. Above the outlet, it reads "&lt; 300W Max, for soldering irons only". Just don't exceed the wattage rating and you should be fine to change the iron for another one.

It states in the instructions that you can use an up-to-330 watt iron beside the one that's included. I'm not sure what the compatibility with other brands is, for sure, but it seems like you should be able to use a different brand iron as long as it's not too hot.

The iron has a normal wall plug on it... Which plugs into the base. So, I'm guessing you could take another iron of the same configuration and plug it into the base. One thing to keep in mind is the rating. You don't want to get a weaker iron and burn it up by cranking it to high while plugged into the base.

I think yes. I have 60 watt soldering iron and I'm quite pleased with this holder.

It may be possible, but the impression I got when I contacted the company was that they did not provide support for this model. I intend to rewire the base so I can turn on the vacuum/blower with an external switch. Then I can use any iron.

Hot enough to melt the solder but not the came. Try it on a test piece of came...if the came melts, the iron is too hot.

it is fine for doing cables providing you use he correct solder and most importantly...correct flux. If you really mean "electrical' work ...yes but you ,ay want to obtain a different tip(readily available)...if you are talking 'electronics work"...I would not. I usually use a low watt adjustable soldering iron for that type of work. The tip that comes with the iron is very broad and flat...and worked very well for soldering music wire for a model railroad catenary system.

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.

Sure can....easy to do.Just make sure you ID the Hot wire for istallation...usually on the Black Screw"

You should be able to. It has a standard socket. Refer to mfg guide when you receive it.

Both the power cord and the solder iron cord need to be snug. Check them first and then make sure the solder tip is snugly fastened. Mine's been a workhorse.

There should be no problem doing that. You should tin the wires, solder, to prevent them from unraveling.

Not unless you are comfortable taking things apart and re-soldering wires. The existing USB port is for output only.

Gotcha. I wonder if you might have better luck getting a metal smith to fill it in with silver solder... Just a thought.

No not unless you get different power boxes and solder your own connects its one long strip that is all controlled by one power box

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

You can simply enough solder the connection together if you're confident with soldering. Else buy the LED strips with the four pin connectors on each end and connect the two strips together.

I use 150watt soldering iron but I also use a 25watt soldering iron with silver solder.but what are you soldering???

No, soldering would not be required. Although I received mine and it did not work so I returned it, got one without a chip and soldered myself.
