Will this work to solder two 18" pieces of Aluminum together?

Depending on the size of the aluminum it differs but a foot and a half you can probably do, you just have to be skilled enough with a soldering iron to get it to bind. Personally for anything over a foot I prefer welding, it's typically stronger and more durable.

Good morning, Mark. Like any lead-free solder it will join 2 pieces of metal like aluminum. However, it will depend on the usage and the weight of the pieces to be joined.

My husband had used it to solder a pot metal carb back together, however he said it should be since it is solder and solder usually is. :)

You can, but I wouldn't use solder. They make connection clips so you don't have to solder at all. The reason is because it has 4 very small contacts that need to be separate or it won't work

Yes, in my opinion, it will work, as long as you know how to solder them on. Good luck!

I would have my doubts. It didn't work well with heat applications for me. When it gets too hot it seems to get soft.It may depend on how hot it gets . . . not sure. I would probably try solder for that. (?) Dale

This would most likely do the job for you. I believe that silver solders are the go-to variety for jewelry. I used it for stainless steel which is typically difficult to solder and it did an outstanding job. With a clean surface and using the supplied flux, the adhesion is excellent. I soldered a hole in the pan of an ultrasonic cleaner, so it is subjected to high-intensity vibration. There has been no problem at all with separation. At the price of this item, it is certainly worth trying.

I guess that would all hinge on the size of the parts you are fastening. ou can see the size of the solder gun tips at any store that sells them.. BUT, if I were planning on working on many of these circuits, I would opt for a solder station that usually would have smaller tips and full controll over heat generated. There are many in the marketplace.

Yes. My son used it to make repairs to his computer. Its a nice little soldering. tool. He has had it since Christmas. And its still working

The Fasteners 18 gauge do not have much holding power. If you are building a 5/8" thick board nailed to a 2x4 I do not believe that will work. This tool is better suited for light mouldings and trim work.

This is a small torch. I doubt it would be good for that. You would be better off with a standard size propane or oxy/acetylene torch for that purpose. This would be great for soldering small parts or dozens of other smaller uses.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.

It sure will. Lead free solder takes a higher temp to allow proper flow and this will easily reach that temperature within 20 seconds of startup.

Because it is metal and absolutely flat, I can't see why it wouldn't. My pieces are steel over copper. Perhaps if you have one with aluminum, it might not.

You have to bend it to connect two pieces. You may think it will break but it won't. Good luck. If you call the company they will tell you the same thing.

I would assume so. If you mean use the soldering iron for jewelry, I would say it should work (I don't know anything about soldering jewelry). The iron has a very fine tip, as it comes with an electronics kit.

Yes, but this is overkill, possibly too hot. Just buy a regular soldering iron. You can find them for 10 bucks or so all day long!

This is not a soldering tool. It's a small heat gun, best use is for heat shrink tubing in tight areas and other duties that requires high heat being blown in a smaller area. I have no idea if it will work for your needs.
