During the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, a member of the press declared our soldering gun to be a true American Beauty, and in that moment, a brand was born. From those very first days, the American Beauty name has been synonymous with everything that is right about "Made in America"; an unwavering commitment to excellence that is built into every soldering iron, soldering station, solder pot and resistance soldering system. Our professional tools are reminiscent of a time when people took pride in the tools they used, and companies took pride in the tools they manufactured. American Beauty provides high-performance solutions for all types of soldering applications. Generating intense, consistent heat, far beyond that of an average solder iron, our heavy-duty soldering irons withstand aggressive production-line environments, soldering systems provide intense localized heat to overcome heat sinks and lead-free solder pots maintain consistent high temperatures anywhere on your shop floor. American Beauty soldering tips were ahead of the curve in switching to lead-free solder and now every tool we make is Lead-Free and RoHS compliant. You can find cheaper or fancier soldering tools out there....but you'll never find one tougher than an American Beauty.
