Cordless soldering Irons
 
I've had 2, the first was rubbish, a bit like a mini blow torch but was little blow and very little torch,
second was much better and similar to this but at 40w

However this now died on me and shies away from butter so I'm on the look out for a replacement - what do you recommend?

The ones we use at work are Portasol technic. There 60w, work well and seem to last (I've had mine 3 years). There about £25 on rs components.

Gas isn't a bad route, I've got a benzomatic one that I've had for years, still working fine but taking a while to heat now.best one are the snap on ones or as above portasol have a good write up
