Problems With Metal Holders For Soldering Irons
The metal holders that soldering irons sit in can be problematic. The tip can come in contact with the holder which can draw out heat from of the tip. This can be a problem, because the tip may not be at full temperature when you go to use it, making it more difficult to get a good solder joint.
The better option is to set the iron on your work bench with the tip pointing upwards. If you do use a stand, make sure the tip points up rather than down. Also make sure it doesn’t have metal parts that could draw out heat from the tip. That way, the iron will always be hot and ready to use.
