Back in 1983 (4 years before I was born), a 15 year old by the name of Craig Smith decided to fix his dad’s broken soldering gun (after he broke it) with parts from a toy that resembled Han Solo’s Blaster from Star Wars.  Apparently it still works and it might be the only soldering gun you will ever see that has a scope on it!  Sadly, this would probably be useless in a fight unless you were in close quarters and wanted to burn your enemy.  It is still awesome as a soldering gun though!

Pass this along to any Star Wars fans you know!  Like us on Facebook too!
