# Soldering Irons can get up to 1000 °F. This is really hot, so do not touch it. Any metal thing on the iron is hot. Be sure to hold the iron like a pencil, and ONLY hold it by the handle. | # Soldering Irons can get up to 1000 °F. This is really hot, so do not touch it. Any metal thing on the iron is hot.
