Soldering tools are essential for any electrical or metalworking project. The most common soldering tool is an iron, which is a handheld device that uses heat to melt and join two pieces of metal together. IRONS are typically powered by electricity and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Other soldering tools include flux, solder, and soldering guns. Flux is a chemical compound that helps the solder adhere to the metal, while solder is a metal alloy that melts at a low temperature and is used to join two pieces of metal together. Soldering guns are larger tools that use higher temperatures to melt the solder and join the metals.
