Can someone teach me how to solder with it too because I don't know what to do

100/140W? Great for soldering plumbing pipe, and other larger scale metal repairs. Also great for frying electronics.

Most of the stuff here is done by 25-40W, I think some people might use 60w on occasion. As for learning, go to YouTube and search for soldering tutorials. No one here's gonna hold your hand, so get used to using the search functions.

And you base your second astute assumption on what, now?

ETA: Would you like some bacon and toast with your fried electronics?

Like always start out building your soldering and desoldering skills on dead electronic devices. Try to remove the components, add wires, ect. This will give you the baseline for how long you might need to hold the trigger to get the tip hot enough.

Just remember to tin your wires. That means you melt some solder on them before you connect it to a board or component.

Happy soldering.

Here is a tutorial that I think thoroughly covers an introduction on soldering, and how to correctly do it.
