Has anyone tried these with the J&L 60 watt Soldering Iron?

Yes it works as good as any soldering iron I have used the stamps and whole set-up is 1st Class!

I've had my weller for just a few months, but I've also owned a radioshack 40 watt iron. I've worked on various projects with the weller iron, mostly wiring and some circuitry. I haven't had any problems with it melting tips. In fact, the tip still looks as good as it did when I got it in the mail. The tip does seem to be of significantly better quality than what I got on the radioshack iron so I would suspect that you won't ever encounter the same problem with your weller.

yea I used an iron with heat tip to repair caps on some old monitors. The solder worked very well.

I use a 100/160watt Weller soldering gun for electronic soldering jobs. It handles everything I've soldered, up to 14 guage wire easily.This gun is 200Watts. I suspect it would be like trying to use a blow torch. You might try something in the 30 to 75 watt range. Called both soldering pencils or soldering irons.If you can swing the extra cost, look for a 'soldering station', better models have an adjustable heat range. You can set to heat to exactly the temp you need.

Yes. I got them specifically for use on my induction burner and they work great.

The kit does not come with solder. 60/40 is the best to use on a kit like that. Get it on line, Radio Shack does notstock it!

If they are the same physical size and you have a way to interconnect them. They are often connected with spot welded tabs. some battery outfitters have the welder. Soldering wire works of you have experience (you must sand the pads and use rosin, have an appropriately sized iron) at it and do not overheat/damage them. Be aware that if you damage them they can spontaneously combust.

Not sure if it is the same as the 852D+, as that says 700W on it (for the entire unit). Careful, as the soldering tool is able to get hot enough to melt itself- I was very surprised, at first, but not so surprised after looking at how it is constructed, with metal very near the heated end embedded in the plastic. Something to pay close attention to. I have never had a soldering iron do that, these are not built the same as our old workhorse Weller's, but for the price.... These can get VERY hot!

I haven't used my soldering iron this year though from what I remember it was within 5 min. I was soldering solar cells and the variable temp was important. I'm happy with it. Michael SedonaCreations.com

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 "< 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.

Never tried but I assume you could if they fit. They would not exceed the wattage limit

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

I wouldn't use them. they melted them selves to my socket and had to replace them. spend the extra money on good ones now and not in the long run replacing wires.

362F is really low for soldering though. Try it at 750. Also, is your temp gun accurate? I reccomend purchasig an actual tip thermometer.

yes i use my weller to solder wire i just bought a smaller tip for the iron.

Not yet. I don't use them for soldering. They are to hold plastic parts for building model kits for my railroading hobby. In looking at them, they look to be made of nylon base material. Not sure the melting point of nylon, but I would guess a solding gun or pencil could melt them.

Highly doubt it, you'd need to be able to heat both pieces to melting point of solder. This tool will likely melt itself first and still not have enough power to do what you want.You may be better off with a propane torch like the kind used for plumbing.
