Lexivon Butane Torch Review Models LX-770 & LX-771 

I've run my own company for 21 years as a cabinetmaker and finish carpenter. I tell my clients that the most important thing of all is that they are happy with the job. If they are not, I make it right, even if it's costs me some time and money. It's a good business philosophy IMO. Oh, and I'm gonna pick up the torch as well. I have some Lexivon torx and e-torx sockets and they are solid.

Nice review, good thing you showed the 'big brother' torch as it's what I'm going to buy. Thanks!

I bought one before watching this video 😅 so I came here to watch a video of what I purchased 😎 glad I made the move 🤟🏻

My trusty old Weller Butane died....Saw this brand on Amazon and searched RU-vid. This video convinced me to buy one...Great informative Video !

I also am impressed with Lexivon. I bought 3 sizes of torque wrenches and this soldering torch. All seem to work very well and reasonably priced. Very happy. They are now my preferred tool company.

you've convinced me to buy the LX-770! thank you

Thanks for your revue, I was planing to buy dremel but after your revue I have decided to ordered one of Lexivon !!! Waiting for delivery now.

bought one because of this, great video!

2 years later I just got a 771 and am blown away.. I bought it as a simple torch and can’t believe that I have a new solder set too 😎

Excellent review. I have the LX-771 and I concur, it's a quality tool from a good company. I hope their business takes off, and this review should help.

Bought on your recommendation & it is great! Thanks👍

I've got the first one you showed and it's awesome 😂😂

Cool! I was going to buy Dremel tho' in my country is REALLY expensive, but I will try the Lexivon. I really like humble companies who fix their mistakes. not to mention this review was all I needed. Thank you!

I got the 770 a few years ago, and it was not working well. When I contacted lexivon about it, they immediately sent me a replacement. I concur, the company is great, they care about customer service and keeping their customers happy. A+ to lexivon.

Hey. I was going between the LX-770 and the Power Probe Micro Torch. I saw your review on the 770 and thought it was cool, but wished it had the handle like the Power Probe unit. Thank goodness I watched your whole video to find out that the 771 has the handle. So, I removed the 770 and the PP from my cart and I ordered this one. Thanks for the review!!

Great review and great comments. I actually look this up because my kit arrived without instructions, but with all the info I'm not going to need them. I've used the tool and agree that it's a great addition to my tool box. Kudos! and I've subscribed.

Thanks for showing us how to use the device!

Superb comprehensive review!

Awesome review 👍, I'm buying mine right now thanks

Such a great video. I went ahead and used your link to order the bundle from the Amazon store. Looking forward to receiving this tomorrow. Both of my SnapOn butane soldering guns are failures. One of them is new and fired one time and won’t again with either tip. It’s a YAKS42 and I’m sorry I bought it.

I was on the fence about what portable torch to buy after using a co-workers weller, but the high price of the weller made me search for an alternative. You’re review of this torch convinced me to get it. Thank you.

thank you, I was looking for a comparison between their two models

Great review. I just bought one 😊

Bought one!, I was thinking about one but yu convinced me it was a great buy, thank you

Hello, i am glad to have been able to see your video. I am in no way any type of sodering person, but wanted to try to fix something that broke, and was looking into getting a torch like this. I will definitely order one of these and will be happy to see more of your videos to learn how else i can use it now that i will own one. Thanks for the video.

excellent review! adding to cart now lol

Great review..thanks much. This helped me make my decision to buy Lexivon

I agree wholeheartedly about how good Lexivon customer service is. I just purchased the LX-770. I had some questions, and they were answered within a couple of hours...on a weekend!

Thanks, Dude, such a good recommendation. I was looking for a decent one. The previous complete plastic soldering iron was meltdown :). Barely catch the fire.

Thanks for the head's up. I'm going to try the pencil, and I might later get the bigger one. I've still got a larger torch, though it is pretty old and due for a replacement.

Great video, thanks!

Thanks you for your review i will try there product

Great Review, Just ordered the 771 in the UK. It looks like an excellent tool. I had the Iroda kit, but it hasn't worked right for the last few months!

bought it just now - I was looking for someone to talk about why it’s better than weller and snap-on ... thank you

Job well done! I just bought one of each! 770 for soldering electronic and 771 fi For the heavier electric jobs and heat shrinking. Make the “use them” video…..

Just ordered the 771. Was making my mind in between 770 and 771 but the 771 seemed to be my choice!

Got me convinced was looking at dremel

Good video u find getting replacement tips ok

Thank you.

Great review. Thanks. I would certainly like to see them in action. Other than the tank size and the shape, is there any difference in performance between the two (iron and torch)? Do they both give off the same flame and heat?

I was looking for a Solder gun you just sold me on Lex I will be buying one

Great Review please keep up the good work ! A how you use it would really great Thanks !!

Just bought the LX-771 and received it yesterday. Just opened it up and I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality, very nice! Decided to see if anyone had done a video for it which brings me here. Very good review, sir. I've only soldered a few times so I don't know much about it. But from looking at what's on the market, this was a choice well made. My next choice would have been the ‘Dremel Versa Flame’ version which is around ten dollars more. But even at that, I like this one more.

I liked your video. Just bought this tool for pyography and other uses. Would love to see how the various tips are applied and used.

I liked your video I was looking to see how you refill these I know it's probably simple probably like a lighter but I want to see but also like to see you using it so yes make another video thank you

I just bought the pen one on Amazon half way through your video had to cancel it and get the big boy

I would like to see you make a video showing how you use the Lexivon Butane Soldering Iron

Candor, it is Your presentation that has provided the perspective and information for me to feel confident in the purchase of this tool, the LX771. After watching a number of other presentations of various offerings, it occurred to me that the price range of offerings reflects the arbitrary categories of lighter grade, kitchen grade, and tool grade. I cannot feel safe with lesser quality construction of cheaper price points, seeing that butane leakage will ignite when the unit is in use I want This Tool. Even the 80 dollar vanity units don't offer what This Tool does. The click of the igniter sounds like quality engineering. However, my primary concern is that the flame Must Go Out if I lose grip of the Tool. Two other product offerings I viewed which possessed that feature, do not exhibit the manufacturing quality of This Unit. Your story relating LEXIVON's prompt action towards remedy has alleviated my concern over potential buyer's remorse. Thank you. PS:. That antagonist can take a hike.

Great video. Just received my LX-771 from Amazon and when ordering, didn't pay close enough attention to the butane fuel type until I was reading the directions. 1 user on RU-vid uses regular Ronson fuel, which is not recommended and swears he's never had a problem with clogging. What your experience in this area and what would you recommend. Where I live everybody sells the Ronson Multi-Fill Ultra Butane Fuel which has no specs. Thanks again.

Question. If you put the pencil style with full flame looking down (straigh to floor) does it act weird and shut it off? My butane works o.k but it makes that. I don't know if it normal or an issue of the butane gas. I'm using benzomatic butane. It is supposed to be 3 times refine. Thank you.

Cmon dude, I can read this crap online, I came to RU-vid to see video in action!

Great video! I feel in love with the LX-771 and will place my order! How do you rate the butane vs battery cordless irons for general small electrical soldering, if you don't mind commenting?

modeling clay,polymnorph,3d print, block of wood etc for a base

Great review! I bought the 771 and proceeded to use it without the instruction book in the box. I complained about the unit flaming out and they did not hesitate to send me a completely new unit. Had I explained that there wasn't a booklet in the package, perhaps they would just send one. You're right. The quality is good and the price is right! I too will look to buy their products as I need them! BTW - Can 6 gauge bare copper wire be soldered to steel re-bar?

Would like to see you soldering an electronic component with the LX770. Are you able to keep temperatures reasonably low for delicate work? Do you feel if you fill the canister half the amount of fuel you'd be able to keep heat lower when set at lowest setting?

I have one, the only problem with mine is that it is very inconsistent when it comes to lighting. You have to click it 4 or 5 times to finally get it to light. To me that’s very aggravating. I had a Master appliance brand that I paid about three times what I did for this one. But it seems like I was sending it back to Master Appliance every year for repairs. That got extremely expensive. Lexivon is definitely a better product for way less money.

I was considering the blow torch over the soldering but I do more electronics than blow torch work. Is it everything you would need from a soldering iron? It would be handy to have a blow torch option in my tool kit, as you never know? Great review, I'm sold on the iron, possibly the blow torch? Thanks.

Mine hisses a bit more than I think should. Other than that I think it’s great

Its still works ?

Hi, neat little soldering torch, I would like to get one of those soon. I was reading the specifications on Amazon and it says that the metal tank is refillable. That brought 2 questions to my head: 1: - how do you refill the tank? 2: - can the butane fuel be replaced with propane? Please excuse my ignorance in this matter!☹️

are you still liking this torch? i see a lot of complaints about the unit not working right and not igniting.

So does the bigger one solder too?

i have one of these butane soldering irons and i can never get good work out of it, it seems like the tip gets too hot too fast and burns the hell out of everything

I've had Weller pyropens that would end up not working after a while.

Good company

That one looks identical to the Dremel versatip. Have you tried that one?

At 1:30. I bought this one and on my first time, it melt. And it’s not the tank that melt but the plastic closed to the burner. Can’t leave this one to long. $60 in the drain

Lets see a video of them in action.

My Dad just bought one for me and it works great, used it to repair the wires to the license plate lights. Did you have trouble at first getting it to ignite? It lights now just fine but when first testing it we had to click the trigger quite a lot until we could use it, this happened several times.

It looks like a Dremel Butane Iron

Constrictive criticism... You need to zoom in on quite a few things you were showing

This and the Dremel VersaTip seem exactly the same.

Nice review. That little bulge that bumped up in your cutting mat when you pointed your iron at it will never come out no matter how many youtubers show you how to fix it.

LOL personal preference on plastic fuel tanks but after watching you slam things down drop things I would say you need to stick with metal I've had a RadioShack plastic one for the better part of twenty years but of course I'm not abusing it it's all in the filtered butane that causes problems and when it does have a problem it's also a easy fix

There is another RU-vidr with a channel Finite Tuning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nQfm6NS1NBI.html that also reviewed this torch. Take a look and see what he has to say about it also.

Looks almost identical to the Dremel Versatip... all the same components and identical in shape

I heard the whole company had to be shut down due to recurring back problems from excessive bending backwards. "0_o"

Seems like a Dremel copy (which is good)

Sure do wish you had soldered something.

I assume Lexivon is a made in China product since there is no mention of country of origin.

If company's would trust ther products they would give a real live time warranty not only 1 or 2 years, that's anyway a joke warranty.

So they are paying you

PS if they watch this video they will see why the product is defective the way you handle it

Out of the box faulty is not an option for me, no matter how good the after sales service. I guess you are aware that fancy is a badge engineered Chinese product. A copy of another premium brand.

You didn't even show how to fill the product? And it took half the video to even show the product...
