Warranty question

[holden26]

Hi, i have this blue point soldering iron

http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...96&group_ID=12178&store=australia&dir=catalog

and the filler valve in the back has broken. Can i get warranty on this or can i buy just the valve thing and put it in.

Also before it broke it stopped getting as hot as it used too and the flame got allot smaller. Now it just burns like a candle and doesn't have any pointed blue flame. Is there something i can do to fix this or is it a warranty thing?

Thanks Bodhi

IIRC those have about a 1 year warranty. So, the question becomes, how long ago did you buy it?

Really. I didn't know that, well my warranty is defiantly up, can i buy the parts i need to fix it ? i looked online and all i can find is tips and a case

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, that looks like your kit. You might contact them and see what they can do for you.

if it is too old then the end will not unscrew.

What do you mean the end will not unscrew? U mean i cant take out the little filler valve? If so i can take it out on this one

well to repalce the whole end. some of them will unscrew to replace the jet and everything else.

then you have a new one. the older ones were fixed to the end of the iron. you could only replace the tip.
