Re: Want to buy a soldering Iron, any suggestions?

So, I picked up a portasol pro piezo:

Portasol Pro Piezo PP-1K Cordless Self Igniting Soldering and Heat Tool Kit
Specifically for professional users that prefer the smaller pocket size. Combines 4 tools in one, soldering iron, blowtorch, hot knife and hot air tool. Kit contents include: Soldering iron, 2.4 mm tip, hot and deflector tip, blow torch tip, knife tip, wire stand, cleaning sponge and tray, storage case and instructions. The PTLPP-1K is a pocket-sized powerhouse, used in the automotive, electronics and telecom industries. Some features:

15 - 75 Watts; To 2,372 degrees F/1,300 degrees C - compact, Powerful precision soldering tool converts to a blow torch, hot knife and hot air blower
10 second refill time - no cords, No leads, no batteries to charge, simply fill with standard butane and use.
40 second heat up; 45 minute run time - ready to use almost instantly; pocket-sized powerhouse
Interchangeable tips - 2.4 mm tip, hot and deflector tip, blow torch tip, knife tip
Self Igniting - no flints, no matches, no lighters. This tool features a self-ignition push button for ease of use
One Year Replacement Warranty, Made in Ireland


This is exactly like the snap on one, its probably the same they sell for over $150, I got it at tool time outlet in albertville for $70 out the door and found some 4ga long jumper cable for $15 too.
Needless to say Shaun hooked me up, If you need one go get this soldering iron, my cousin has the same one at his shop and its bomb.
