A soldering iron is a straight tool, sort of like a long screwdriver. A soldering gun actually looks like a gun or a drill.
There are many place to purchase a soldering gun for home use. The best place you can buy a soldering gun for home use is Office Depot. You can also find it online at Amazon.
Try soldering it on with a soldering gun
Soldering guns are used where more heat is needed than from the lower-power soldering irons. They can be used for heavy electrical connections, stained glass assembly, and light sheet-metal work. Typical soldering guns are rated at 100 to 240 watts power. A gun may include a two-stage trigger to give two heat settings 📷

Well, take a screwdriver and a soldering gun and have a ton of fun!
Solder guns as a rule have wider tips than soldering irons/soldering pens.You might not be able to reach just the spot that you want to with a solder gun given the size of the components, and how tightly packed they are on a modern circuit board. Many modern components, such as integrated circuits, will be damaged by the high heat levels produced by soldering guns.
Soldering irons are usually used with rosin core solder. Sometimes it has lead in it but often not since its toxic. Most of the time its for heavy soldering like heavy gauge wires or older circuit boards since the tips are fairly big. They also have a decent temperature control so anything that is delicate like large SMD soldering.
Yes, a support specialist may need a soldering gun in certain circumstances, particularly if they are involved in troubleshooting or repairing electronic devices. For instance, if a component needs to be replaced or if a connection is faulty, soldering may be necessary to restore functionality. However, this requirement typically depends on the specific role and the nature of the equipment they are working with.
You should use a torch for soldering a radiator. Torches provide a more controlled and even heat, making it easier to solder the joints effectively. Soldering guns are typically not recommended for radiator repair as they can overheat and damage the radiator.
Soldreing the wire to the solenoid will be the best long-term solution. Soldering guns are relatively cheap now at Harbor Freight. You can get a full kit (inclues soldering gun, flux, extra gun tips, and solder) for around $5.
