Peg Board Solder Dispenser

My small workbench is cluttered and cramped as it is, and I don't need a bulky spool of solder to occupy any more of my limited space, so I came up with an extremely simple solution. This solution dispenses solder when you need it, and hides it when you don't, and it takes up only 2 or 3 holes on your peg board.

Step 1 Materials

For this project you need only to gather three things:

• Spool of solder (One shown here is thicker than usual for photographic purposes)
• Peg board (with the back accessible)
• Long hook that fits in your peg board

(Be sure that your spool of solder fits on your peg board hook)

If you do not have a peg board put are so compelled by this Instructable to install one, they can be purchased at your local home improvement store.

Neat tip, once I get that pegboard that's been sitting in my garage mounted I'll be sure to use this!

Nice! I recently installed peg board in my work shop and its great. This will make a great addition!!

it would be cool if there was a foot pedal or something to dispense the solder, you would still need to guide it to the joint but it would be a cool idea.

That's actually an awesome idea marc!

Unfortunately, in my workshopish type of thing, I don't have that, but I would like to. That's a really good Tool Tip.

And the last picture... "I didn't have enough hands to pretend to be soldering in this picture."

Haha! :-)
