francis Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi there guys, I'm after a portable soldering iron, I'm guessing this will be a butane powered one. Any recommendations? I'll be using it to fit an FCD and probably RLTC in the future. Cheers, Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I think they're all pretty much the same. I got mine from Maplins I think ages ago, very handy tool. They are powered by butane lighter refils. Machine Mart have loads too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 If you want a really good one get a "Portasol Super Pro ". I got mine from Ebay, you can either buy the kit or just the basic soldering iron. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Portasol-Super-Pro-Gas-Soldering-Iron-Kit-Snap-em-up_W0QQitemZ7596316094QQcategoryZ106001QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7596316824&ssPageName=MERC_VI_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
