hot air guns and soldering copper pipes
wrote:
Hi all,
Does anyone know if electric hot air guns like this:
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...77285&id=14303
are any good for soldering copper pipes?
What are advantages/disadvantages over propane blowtorch ?
I will be laying new CH piping and want to get proper tool for the
job.
thanks for your help
Dunno about soldering, but I just bought the DW340 (for melting beeswax and
propolis off beehive frames, so I wanted fine adjustment of temperature,
rather than hot / very hot). Amazon were cheaper than Screwfix or
Toolstation if you take their free delivery option.
