Subject: Re: [TN] battery powered soldering iron


I have used battery powered units similar to the Wahl Iso-Tip in the
past.  I found them to be problematic in terms of soldering anything but
the smallest wire splice.  They could not keep up with anything that
would sink heat.  Charge life and overall tool life were also
disappointing.  As I recall the "cool heat" tool uses an arc between
graphite tips.  I'd be wary on anything with components.

What about gaz powered soldering irons? You did not tell us what you
want to solder - cables, electronic components, THT/SMD, if SMD,
which size, is accurate temperature necessary etc.

I use with good success a Weller Pyropen, but every other soldering
tool with catalytic combustion (no open flame) will do the job.
