JDCJDC: Ok so right out of the gate - glad I purchased, does exactly what I needed it to do, highly recommended.
Now the back story:
I had a cracked step pad on one of my truck step bars. Of course, you can't replace the pads themselves. You have to replace the whole bar - and they don't sell them one at a time do they? No, they don't. And plastic cracks don't get better with age, they get worse.
So I was looking at fixing at home or spending several hundred dollars for a new set of step bars, and the install if I couldn't do it myself.
Enter our hero - this little $25 plastic welding kit. Very easy to use and comes with everything you need for quite a few repairs like mine, or several even bigger repairs.
Again very easy to use. So my step bar is fixed strong as new. Does it look brand new - no, it looks patched, of course. But is the repair strong enough to be dependable and last a long time - yes absolutely.
I cleaned the crack and surrounding area with alcohol wipes. Then buffed it with the included wire brush.
Then I cut some of the included metal screen to cover the crack and about a half inch all around. Then I let the tool preheat per instructions, and used it...

JayDubya: The iron in this kit is fairly large so it can be held onto easily. It is heftily built and works great for heating up plastics to be welded together. The kit provides a good amount of the most-used plastic and is adequate. It heats up quickly and melts the plastic so that it can be smoothed along with the added plastic to repair a variety of plastic items damaged during use.

The main problem in using the kit is that the wedge-shaped tips provided are made from material with too low a melting point and they begin to deform when they get hot. If any pressure is applied to the tip, the nearly molten shaft bends very easily and no amount of care will prevent this - short of not using the tip. To prevent the premature failures, when I purchase a new tip, I add some additional threads to the shaft and install a 1/4-28 nut on it. I then tighten the nut against the end shield on the iron after the tip is fully installed. This will keep the shaft from getting too hot and the pressure placed on the tip is transmitted to the end of the iron.

Another thing I tried was to drill out the center of the shaft with a 3/32" drill bit and insert a 3/32" welding rod end into the hole....
