American Beauty Resistance Soldering Systems
American Beauty Resistance Soldering Systems offer the most advanced and complete line of resistance soldering systems available anywhere in the world. You'll find power ratings between 100 and 3,000 watts, and various tool styles and compositions. You may use them to work on anything from tiny hobby/craft projects to soldering large copper plumbing. Here are just a few of the advantages: The concentrated heat reduces soldering time by many times over. Poor solder joints are often the result of insufficient heat throughout the joint, creating weak spots; these systems eliminate such problems. Traditional soldering methods may introduce too much heat into surrounding areas, damaging critical components or de-soldering previously soldered joints. Using resistance soldering systems will improve quality and reduce waste! Resistance soldering systems are ergonomic and versatile. Lightweight hand pieces cool within seconds, greatly reducing the likelihood of repetitive strain-injury and virtually eliminating the burn risk for the user. Versatile systems allow for easy access to restricted areas on circuit boards and inside cabinets. Resistance soldering systems can save you money! Instant heat means you're not paying to heat a soldering station all day long. Electrodes last twice as long as soldering tips and don't require constant re-wetting, thereby reducing consumable waste. American Beauty Resistance Soldering Systems get the job done. Stop trying to perform your difficult soldering operations the same old way with the same old tools. Contact DX Engineering to own of these American Beauty Resistance Soldering Systems today!

American Beauty Soldering Tool Parts and Components
If American Beauty's soldering tools were of typical quality, then they wouldn't offer an extensive list of soldering tool parts and components. In fact, their tools are designed to withstand the stress of production-line usage in the most difficult and rigorous industrial environments. However, as those familiar with soldering are well aware, soldering tools require regular maintenance and the occasional replacement of consumable parts. Historically, soldering-tool manufacturers had whole departments set up to service tools for their customers. As budgets tightened and these departments were eliminated, tools that were meant to last a decade or more were tossed in the trash, just like the cheap imports. American Beauty soldering tools were designed from the beginning to be serviceable! Their heating elements, connectors, handles, cord sets, foot switches, electrodes, and many other kinds of parts are replaceable. American Beauty even offers Maintenance kits and instructions on how to care for, and extend the life of, their tools! To save money on tools, you need to buy a quality tool that's right for the job...as well as serviceable. American Beauty soldering tool parts and components are now available from DX Engineering and will provide the means for you to keep your soldering tools working (and in great shape) for a long, long time!
