Default I've seen those advertised...>

I've got a mini Weller Portasol Butane unit with changeable tips which is great and goes forever on a fill-up.. Dunno how long a charge would last on these as it takes a bunch of battery juice to make that kind of heat...Buy one and let us know!

At 20 bucks apiece you could buy 5 of them for what my Mastertorch cost. IF they work

It produces way too much heat, 800 degrees for PCB use, maybe for wire, but not what I use it for.

Default If you want a soldering tool...

get a Weller WTCPT (with a PTP7 tip) or Hakko 936 station. If you want a portable, get a Wahl Iso-tip (battery) or a Portasol (butane).

(IMHO, after almost 40 years of soldering)

They want $4.95 for shipping
