im not saying your are wrong, but dude got this to over 750,000 views so far over 2 months... i think he did what he set out to do

@@TheRaginghalfasian I’m going to say they are right. This “hack” cost more than the cost of that soldering iron. Just buy a new set of tips for $2 or the whole iron for $5 or clean the top for near free.

​@TheRaginghalfasian its all in the click bait title. Bring back the thumbs down count!

I was an AE in the Navy and I concur

This is really a disservice, the guy, instead of cleaning the tool, comes to me with a trick, and is making money by teaching something useless and more expensive than simply cleaning the tool... 👀

If you have firefox, there is an extension called "Return UKposts Dislike". This guy has 13k dislikes.

yep, vids like this need the dislike not to hate but to show how many people think its a nonsense vid or nonsense tech

@@elredo7277 I use Chrome and it has the same extension, now this video has 19K+ dislikes vs 3.3K, pff...

@@elredo7277 that extension is available for multiple browsers but, more importantly, it's a practically useless extension. it doesn't return the dislikes, it just takes a guess as to what the dislike count would be.

You should not pretend to know how to solder or give advice on the topic. You have no idea what you are doing. Just stop. Also just buy a new tip they are cheap.

Nailed it brother. 👍

Not sure if it's correct but I have a ceramic bowl with scrunched up wire with flux. I scrape the tip after every use and the solder always sticks nice and shiny. 😊

But you watched and commented and so did i. The channel wins! We lose😢

No. Commenters also win because we are doing a great service to the public in the name of common sense and safety.

@@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121 ...that's called tinning or cleaning the tip, which should be done frequently I use a damp sponge at my work station and just wipe the tip after each solder joint. Looking at his solder tip it appears he doesn't know that. The tip just needed to be cleaned and re-tinned. I also use flux to help keep tip nice and shiny. It's not rocket science.

I'd like to know how this got more than 600 thousand views??.

i can. i REALLY REALLY can. yt is full of STOOPID FOOLS, telling IGGERANT FOOLS to do FOOLISH things

Clearly none of them has ever even touched a soldering iron.

Paid upvote/view services are a thing.

​@@denverscott37View-count is mainly a function of thumbnail efficacy - little else. There's no way to then know that most regretted said viewing!

A bit of fresh solder on the iron with its flux helps transfer the heat to the wire quicker so thats not the real issue, Remember he wasnt trying to tin the wire itself, but waste peoples time drawing out a pointless excercise for views and ad revenue.

@@bsrsonptyltd5854 ...and you suckers fall for it all the time, they're laughing all the way to the bank thanks to you suckers. Hahaha.

See the three dots to the right, just click on "don't recommend chanel". I do it all the time for this clickbait shit.

@@cliveyb5326Unfortunately that only works on the home page. It doesn’t offer that in search results. :(

@@cliveyb5326 I can't find that option when viewing UKposts on my Laptop?

If only they made soldering irons with interchangeable tips, oh wait they do..

How to break cheap soldering iron and make clickbait money from it.

I think this is just dumb rage bait stuff because content creators know it gets people commenting and that makes money on youtube

@@theodorekorehonenNot from me. I run an ad blocker.

The first "soldering" he was just putting the solder on top of the iron, trying to balance it over to the wire once molten... so yes, in essence spending half an hour "solving" the problem he created, then demonstrating the "solution" by doing what he should have done in the first place: keeping the iron in full contact with the wires and then apply the solder thread.

Eu prefiro o ferro de solda tradicional

@@EdgardOPENSADOR It makes more sense.... ( es mejor.) 🤣👋

🔥🤝

@@CreativeHacker7You hearted your own comment. How pathetic lol

Brilliant!

Good business, buy a two dollar part to get a 5 cent piece of wire out of it. Sounds like a money maker to me.

dunno where you get spark plugs from ........ in uk they're tenner minimum @@michaelszczys8316

Flux on wires is the baddest you can do. It will get sucked in the wires mantle and oxidating your complete wires within a small amount of time to a breaking point. That soldering iron isnt hot enough, and its a Pointed tip. This solution is no solution, this is just shit.. im sorry🤷🏻‍♂️

Okay 👌

Sometimes solder is needed to contact and wait to conduct the heat to the wire

Many's the time I have cleaned the wire too, if needed. I never use solder as paint, you don't daub it on, you allow heat to make it flow.

Melhor condutor de calor é o cobre aqui estanhador vem coa a ponta de cobre....

All needed was to keep the dang tip in contact with the wire strands instead of melting the solder on the tip and then trying to pour it over the strands.

Okay, I’ll do it in the my next video !

Really interesting 🤔

Maybe next time I'll give the sandpaper and flux a try! Thanks for the tip! 🔥

The trickiest part is finding the piece of the spark plug that you just nipped off... 😅 But once you master it, the soldering iron trick can save you a lot of time and hassle! 🔥.

if you have a bad tip, you can use a broken candle ! Thank for the question!

ah ok cool !!, thx @@CreativeHacker7

Rosen core flux is safe. Plumbing flux is acid based bad for wiring.

I hope the time saved using this hack makes up for the lost time! 🕰️.

Try tinning the tip

Have you used any sort of flux? Get some ruby paste or ruby fluid, Or you can get what's called StayClean, these are all mild acids, some solder has the acid or flux as it's called inside of the solder, but get some ruby paste and get your iron hot as you can get it, then dip it in the ruby paste , or whichever acid (flux) that you have, any of the ones I mentioned will work. You can also get what's called Sal-Ammoniac , again get your iron red hot, and hold it to the Sal-Ammoniac block. Do that around the entire tip of the soldering iron and the solder will stick to it, which is what you want so you can use the tip of the iron to put the beads of solder right where you want them, the heat of the iron will draw the solder towards it, and the flux will and Sal-Ammoniac will help the solder stick to the iron I'm a metal working, I use huge 1 pound bars of Dutch boy 50/50 solder. I have a huge soldering iron that runs off propane and cost me close to $800 , I do this stuff professionally.. Mostly relining old box gutters with a thin form of steel, well it's galvanized steel that comes in a 50 foot roll. But I also solder sheets of copper at times if I'm flashing a chimney using copper. Sometimes use what's called ResiBond galvanized sheet metal, again that comes in a 50 foot roll, whatever you do tho, don't get that acid on your skin and if you do, wash it off asap, that stuff will burn your skin so wear safety glasses for sure and gloves..!!..

@@denverscott37 thanks for the info.

@@immrnoidall you're welcome

😅 it’s life

Yes, I'm aware of that feature! It's so convenient for different tasks 🔧.

No worries! Just make sure to clean the tip for smooth soldering every time. 🔧👍

Great point! This hack may not solve all problems, but it sure does come in handy for DIY projects 🔧🔥.

Do I need…

??

Maybe if you get free spark plugs and you have too much time on your hands.

Turned down the heat and switched to copper tips, thanks for the tip!👍✨
