I think I figured out the melting tip problem

I've had my iron for at least two years with no problems using the 2 ah small battery. Yesterday for the first time ever I put a 6 amp hour battery on it and within 10 minutes the plastic tip base melted. I believe the 3 or 6 AH batteries allows the iron to draw extra current and that cause the base to melt. It's a great iron that will last a long time as long as you only use the 2 amp hour battery and nothing larger.

Great bit of kit until the collar melted...

Great general purpose soldering iron until the collar melted and there are no replacements available.

GREAT till it broke

Great soldering iron while it worked. has enough heat for 6mm auto wire and anderson lug soldering. then like everyone els the resin ring at the top crumbled while using it and the head broke off. now its useless. cant get parts. waste of money. lasted only a couple of months. WAS my fav milwaukee tool. not anymore.

Same issue as many others

I've had my soldering iron for about a year now and it works flawlessly for small jobs. The last few times I've used it, however, the jobs took a bit longer than in the past and the knurled piece that holds the end started to melt. Once this happened, the tool was useless until it cooled back down and the plastic reset. This piece "should" have been made out of ceramic so the heat wouldn't be wicked off like metal would and it wouldn't melt like it does with plastic.......as it stands right now, I can only use it only really small jobs that take less than 5 mins or so at full heat.

bought 3 down to 1 working one

I am an Automotive instructor at a vocational high school and we bought three 2488-20 Soldering Irons. We bought one to try and it worked so well we bought two more. We have had to send the first one out for repair and now returning to school we try the other two and they are not working. One green light always flashes and the other the red lights blink real quick and the iron shuts down. They are not used daily and do not have a lot of time on them . When they worked they were great, I love Milwaukee tools and we try buy and use them at the school but I don't think the soldering irons are up to be used at a professional level.
