Weller Piezo Butane Gas Soldering Set - WP3EU (14-Jan-2012)
I recently bought a new Weller gas powered soldering iron from Rapid Electronics in the UK.
Whilst I do have the occasional need for a portable soldering iron, I really wanted it for use on heat-shrink sleeving. I’ve got an electric hot-air blower built into my Xytronic de-solder station and for jobs with many shrinks to do it’s great, but it does take a while to warm up and sometimes I just want to make a quick cable assembly so wanted something compact and fast. It’s also not very portable.
