Versa tip 1550 T2 quit

[Hafcanadian]

I wanted to repair a plastic device using the flat blade tip (wood burning tip?) on one of my old VersaTip 1550 T2 tools.  I got half way through melting the plastic, and set the tool aside while I adjusted components on the device.  When I picked up the tool again it had quit heating, and I can't get it to heat anymore.  I had to finish the job using a second 1550 T2 I'd bought years ago but had never opened the package.

The core doesn't seem to want to unscrew from the handle so I can try to ferret out the problem.  How does this unit disassemble?  Is there a fuse?

Hi Hafcanadian,

Thanks for your question.

As for the 1550, the core of the burner does not unscrew.  If the tip is stuck in the tool, we do not have a solution and the tool does not have a fuse.  

1550 Corded VersaTip was manufacture from 1990 - 2021. 

I wish I had better news for you.  Here is a link to the New Butane VersaTip
