Reaching a maximum tip temperature of 1,000°F, the American Beauty 550 Watt Ergo Iron (Model 3198E-550) is an industrial-duty soldering iron especially designed for professionals who depend on soldering for their livelihoods. Using a traditional stick-style soldering iron frequently causes wrist stress as the soldering iron has to be held at an awkward angle. The nearly 90 degree angle of the ergo iron allows the operator to use the soldering iron from a comfortable position, enabling them to focus on their work instead of their discomfort.
