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



http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORTASOL-P...item589daead5e

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?

byronstingly is on a distinguished road
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
