A soldering iron is a hand-held tool that supplies heat through a heated metal tip enabling you to melt solder. Melting solder helps it flow into the joint between a heating element and a piece of work. Soldering Irons are usually supplied as a kit with a stand so heated soldering tip can be safely secured while not in operation. Also, some iron models even allow for hands-free soldering or de-soldering as a stand can hold a tool in a horizontal position.
