Worst soldering job I have ever seen!!

[RuffRiki]

What about an M2c?

I never tried that one but please do n let me know if your solder turns out like @N.Mango

My key steps to achieve good solder joints on battery wires:

- No stickers at all on tools or equipment
- Big, cheap pencil iron with no temperature control
- Lead-free solder picked at random from the hardware store
- No additional flux

Your mileage may vary.

Well we already established that stickers are mandatory for great solder so that pokes a hole in your whole process right there….

Oh my bad it’s a scorched sticker, probably wouldn’t be so good at soldering if I used that other sticker

Damn Bro, they are sold out of all the scorched decals......did you buy them all ?

naa but I have purchased a lot of parts from them and in some cases I’m getting 2-3 stickers with 1 part. Right now I have a drawer near full of mostly scorched stickers….I also did buy a scorched sticker set ONE TIME

Got my soldering game on, Finally!
Picked this Oldie up over the weekend. Yes, it still works like a Boss!

Applied the appropriate sticker to convert to PRO Level

That is how I do it. I also use needle nose pliers + a rubber band to keep the connector held in place.

Alright I like it. I hold my connecters with bare fingers as I solder…

I own a soldering gun, but I haven't used it in eight years. I'm afraid my soldering joints would look like those, so for the times I have needed a connector soldered (only twice in a year) I choose to use my local RC shop.

I enjoy soldering a lot. Sometimes I’ll just practice with old wire. Yeah I practice soldering.

Soldering gun wouldn't work very well for battery connectors and large wires anyway. Tips don't have enough mass to hold heat and they drop in temperature too quickly to get fast, clean joints.

That was my experience several years ago with various pencil-type soldering irons. That's why I let the experts solder for me.

How is that drawer holding up?

Mhmmm why u wanna make jokes about my drawer full of stickers??

How is that drawer holding up?

But it’s holding up fine I suppose. Slides in n out freely as if on ceramic bearings…

First time I tried to solder of course it was 10g wire for a very expensive pair of speakers.
I ended up saying F-it and went mechanical.

A friend of mine had some motor issues when i found this

So we fixed that. That's what i like about soldering, you can always fix it

 

[Roadkill69]

And that is why you don’t do drugs and solder
