Sting®
operates from any 110v, 20-amp power supply and delivers 3000 degrees of heat
in a matter of seconds. However, even with so much power, the heat is easily
controlled with the conveniently placed switch on the hand set. Delivering a
maximum of 8 volts AC when in use ensures the STING® is completely safe in any
situation. And STING® comes complete with a handy cart for easy transportation.
In addition, electrode
extensions, for accessing those difficult to reach spots inside a wall or
ceiling are among several accessories that are available for use with STING®.
Others include thawing cables, for thawing up to 20 feet of frozen water pipe
and grounding cables, together with a foot switch, to make repetitive bench
assembly work so much easier. electrode

Sting®
will never eliminate the use of a flame. However, for soldering, silver brazing
or making soldered electrical connections, STING® is a sensible alternative.
This is especially true where the use of an open flame poses a fire hazard, a
"hot work permit" or "fire watch" is required, or where the
use or transportation of gas cylinders is not allowed (as in a prison).
Sting®
will solder and silver solder any job usually done with a flame, quicker, safer
and without the risk of fire. STING is completely self-contained and is UL
listed.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will
Sting® work with lead free solder?
Yes. And
with Siphons or silver brazing rod down to 5% silver.
How
long are the cables and can I have them longer?
The cables
are 10 feet long and are at their maximum length for best performance.
Does
Sting® need special fluxes or fittings?
No. Anything
you would use with a flame is good with Sting®.
Fires
from torches do happen.
They may not always happen to someone else!
According
to the NPFA,
in the period of 1991-1995 there were 4,560 fires caused by a torch NOT
INCLUDING those caused by cutting or welding torches. These resulted in eight
civilian deaths, one hundred and fifty injuries and more than $85 million in
property damage.
