As a right arm amputee, this might be a game changer. Thanks for sharing!
WOW, ouch. My Dad had one arm destroyed by Polio, and I know he would have loved this as well. Thanks for commenting and God bless.
Probably the coolest voice on TH-cam
Thanks much.
This is one of the neatest tools I have in my soldering arsenal. This Saker 1 handed, self feeding soldering iron is unique and very handy.
Very excited about this, it is just what I need. Have always found soldering very frustrating. Thanks for the review!
I saw that in the last video and intended to ask about it. Thanks for the review!
Not trying to sponsor China or anything but this item just popped up on my temu search and i came here to see how well it worked because I'm considering getting one since i shy away from any/all soldering jobs. Alot cheaper then the usual $30 on Amazon
Definitely NEED 1 for myself! I do a ton of those adapters for everyone!
Thank you. I saw this ad on FB and was wondering if it worked. Now I know.
That's a pretty ingenious tool.
I'm pretty inept at soldering and I think this would help me a lot.
Thanks for showing how it works and where to get one.👍
Right on. Thanks for commenting and asking about it. I appreciate you.
Thanks . I was given a similar iron as a present but didn't know what the solder sucker was until I saw your video ! 👍 Great idea, does need a stand as you say , I will have to build one !
Right on. It takes a bit of practice, but once you figure it out, it is great. Thanks much.
Very cool. Another tool I need to get!
Now this is awesome! Frankly, I’m surprised that YOU yourself didn’t invent something like this! 😂 Talk about practical. Semper Fi.
Haha. Thanks for the confidence, Scott. Semper Fi!
Dave been washing yours for Years Happy New Year
Thanks so much. I appreciate you and Happy New Year to you as well.
Already bought it
I just purchased one and it's a great tool!
Great. Just make you line up the solder to the tip, before turning it on. Thanks an enjoy.
@@NightFlyyer thanks for the tip 👍👍
Great video will try one 👍
Thanks Tom.
I've got one arm, this will help me solder
My dad lost most use from his right arm from Polio, so I can appreciate your dilemma. This would have helped him too. It takes a bit of practice, but once you figure it out, it is great. Thanks much.
Thanks for technical support
Your welcome.
Works pretty slick!
It does. Thanks much Doug.
That's slick! Thumbs 👍🏻 enjoy~John
Thanks so much, John. I like it for sure.
I can remember my Uncle had one very similar about 40 years ago. As kids we thought it was pretty cool and use it like a toy gun until he caught us with it with ½ a roll of solder hanging out the end. I've always wanted just never found one.
Must’ve been like the one I saw back in the 50’s. Now it’s back. Thanks.
Hello Dave, today I was going to ask about the Saker and what is your thought about the product, but I see like always you on it I receive one myself for Christmas haven't had a chance to use it just watching you use it I think I'll love it 'Thanks You're Always on Point
Thanks so much. Enjoy it.
That's a nice gun Dave, I really like the solder feed on it. Does it heat up real fast ? The price is nice on it. I might have to order one. I have 2 Weller duel heat guns, and a Ungar pencil type that I use most of the time when I put RF fittings on coaxial cable, but I do like the self feed feature on the Saker. Tom
It heats up pretty fast. I like it. Thanks.
Yeah, I gotta get me one of those..Amazon, here I come! 🤣
Right on.. Thanks much.
It's been over three weeks since I placed my order for this unit! I hear it may be a while for my delivery. The order volume has increased so much they are getting backed up!! my soldering skills are so bad , this iron is the perfect thing for me!!
So you ordered this before my video. Well, it took a while for me too. I ordered on Dec 17 and got it on Dec 31. Hope you get it soon. You will like it.
I ordered one on Dec 2nd. It came today 1-12-23. Can't wait to try it! Thanks for the great video Dave. Good luck David
@@waynekanada3798 Right on. Enjoy, thanks and Happy New year.
@@NightFlyyer Thanks. When I opened mine the tip was loose and doesn't fit snuggly in the gun the screws are too short so I am looking for better ones now.
Is is supposed to be that loose? The set screw(s), fully inserted dont even touch the tip. Any suggestions?
@@waynekanada3798 Well, mine has 2 big phillips head screws, and they don't move much. I guess I never looked to see if it was loose till just now since you mentioned it, and it is slightly loose. I guess I was using it while being loose. It heats up very hot even though. I just tightened those screws, and they did not move much and felt like they were already tight, but now the tip is tight, so they must've moved enough. Maybe a bit longer screw from ace hardware will be the trick for you.
Hughes Aircraft Fullerton, CA 👍
Right on.
You can stand the soldering gun upright on its spool and handle. Unfortunately with the hot tip pointing up. So be careful.
Yeah. That is not the greatest of ways for me, as the cord easily pulls it right over. I lay it on the side on a soldering iron stand and that is the best for me. Thanks.
Pardon me if this is a silly question, keep in mind I am a complete noob at soldering as I've rarely ever done it.
I thought the best way to solder was to hold the tip against whatever is being soldered, heat it up and then feed the solder in from the opposite side so that it flows through or around the connection toward the soldering iron. Does this make sense?
So, in other words, do you still get a good long lasting solder joint when just sort of squirting solder onto the surface of the part like this?
This is not squirting solder on the surface. In soldering, you heat the surface then apply solder. In most cases you need to touch the solder to the tip to get it start the flow. The solder will flow properly into the surface as it heats up and make a good connection. It’s Not a silly question.
Cool
Nice. Got one for my husband but how do you open that door you already had open? On ours looks like the tab is solid and can’t slide. You should have shown actually opening the door instead of having it already open and just lifting it off. Help!
I had to get a small screwdriver and pop it off. It doesn’t slide.
I got one of these as a gift. My question: is the solder pre-fluxed?
No, but I changed mine out to a roll of 2 % flux. Also let it get hot. It take a few minutes. I solder by laying it down sideways and it works great. Thanks and enjoy.
@@NightFlyyer Thanks for the tips! I am anxious to try this out.
Best comment ever "everyone knows what a pain in the ass these are" 🤣
Amen
And you know....! Thanks much.
Oh my...
Hi, what diameter feed wire I have to use
It came with a roll of 8mm solder, mostly tin and 1% copper. That is like welding almost. I like a more of a mix, so changed to a roll of with more lead, and 2% flux, but they are still 8mm. Thanks.
@@NightFlyyer 0.8mm?
@@petercohen3966 Yes. 0.8mm, the standard small solder size.
That's great, and now you need a Hot Glue Gun, if there's such a one invented..! Der?
Well I have one already and it’s self feeding as well. Thanks.

How much
At 5:45... $32.95 for the whole kit.
price
On Amazon today, $18.29 for the kit.
I just got one through Amazon. It is just more Chinese CRAP. Solder won't feed, it just winds all around the cheesy plastic gears and turns into a blob. Every part of it is cheapest possible material, looks like a 4th grade science project but probably works far less well. Junk! Never even bothered to plug it in. I have been a skilled solderer for 70 years and I know badly engineered junk when I see it.
Which brand did you get on Amazon?
