Automatic-feed Soldering Iron Being Introduced

A patented, automatic-feed, electric soldering iron, the EJECT-O-MATIC is being introduced by the Multi-Products Tool Company, 123 Sussex Ave. Newark, N. J. This radically new iron is trigger operated and ejects a measured amount of solder from a reel concealed in the handle. A special retracting feature prevents the melting of excess solder on the heating tip. The actual amount of solder deposited each time the trigger is pulled is regulated by a micrometer adjusting wheel mounted in the handle of the iron easily accessible to the operator's thumb. If, during the course of a job, more, or less solder is required, a touch of the wheel changes the amount ejected.

The EJECT-O-MATIC is of balanced construction and compactly built. The pistol-grip handle is made of molded bakelite. The tool weighs one pound and a quarter loaded, and is so perfectly balanced that it can be used for hours without fatigue. The Eject-O-Matic facilitates uniform soldered connections.
