Exactly the results I had, but I haven't thried to adjust them either. Back to the extended tubing handles on the one I got from the shack I guess. I am not about to put close to $500 in the Harwin tool. I have soldered them 10 or so times in the past, perhaps this tool will make them stay put long enough to finish with a fine tc tip and some silver content solder. I even have some of the rhos stuff, but you have to run the iron temp up a ways, cleaning and retinning the tip for every joint. Thats a right pain in the ass for a guy thats had a hot iron in one hand since 1948. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
