Dante: Well, it did what I needed it to and fixed my car bumper, so I'll give it an extra star for that.

Otherwise, it is very cheaply made, and (just like the other reviewers are saying) the brass tip does snap right at the base. Needs to be re-designed with a better quality metal that can take the heat and pressure to smooth plastic and not deform.

My best advice is to make sure the iron is HOT before you start and use as little pressure as possible to smooth the plastic. Try and let the heat do the work so you can finish the job before the tip breaks off.

Duane Treat: Lack of regulating temp a con. Nice in hand could be better insulated though.

Ozzman1868: It can overheat it if using for a long period >30min. Best to unplug when not using right away.

Murray McQuigge: The second time that I used this welder, the tip snapped off. Worked great but very disappointed that the tip snapped. I was pressing gently on it when the tip snapped. .

John Remillard: Overall, product is good quality. You do need to practice and take time to get the hang of it. This product would be even better if it shipped with 3 heads vs. 1. I would be willing to pay more for that added value. The 'weak link' of the product is the head.....do not put too much pressure!

Carl: I used this to repair 2 1" holes in a poly underground water cistern. I followed the instructions and sealed the holes off. Use this in a well ventilated place. The fumes are not pleasant. Very happy with the product and the price.

mv916mv916: I bought this months ago on sale for $20.00. It was a steal and I can't believe I didn't buy one sooner or that it sat unused for 4 months. I used it 2 nights ago to repair the support on the front bumper for my Audi A4. It had ripped off and the bumper would no longer attach. I reinforced with mesh and melted it into the backside of the bumper. I then used some of the included material to add additional coverage/smooth things out. It was kind of a tricky angle to work in. I didn't think I was pressing hard but the tip bent significantly but did not break. I burned my thumb but in no time at all, the bumper was repaired. It is now stronger than it was to start. Honestly, my mind is blown. I'm pretty handy but I've never had something turn out so good on a first attempt. I had such low expectations that I didn't take before pictures. The tip will need to be replaced soon so if you were looking to use on the regular, you might need something designed a better time or the tip damage could be user error. For a one time or 2x use, this can save a bundle. A new bumper with paint and install would have easily been $2000!
