Review of Convenient Cordless Soldering Iron for Professionals and DIYers - Features with a LED at Tip!

I bought this at Radio Shack thinking it would just be something I would use once then throw away. I desperately needed a way to wire in the remote start in my truck.I still have it and use it fairly often. For being so cheap it works great. I have had it for over a year and 1/2 and am only on the second set of batteries. I can't believe how long they last. It has a small light to illuminate what you are working on not super bright, but better than nothing. The time it takes to go from cold to hot is really quick, about 5 seconds. It has an actual metal tip unlike the ceramic "cold heat" that I bought a while back. (My cold heat now lives in the garbage).
Overall it is much more useful than I expected. Since it is battery powered, it wouldn't make sense as a primary soldering iron. But for those times you want portability, it defiantly exceeds expectations.

Review of Wahl 7800 CORDLESS SOLDERING IRON KIT

I've been in the electronics business for years, and I've always had two of these irons sitting on my bench -- one in use and one charging.It fits your hand perfectly, travels well with a locking button, lights up your work and has a very large assortment of tips to choose from (from broad to very, very fine), all easily changeable without any tools.

I finally had to buy a new one after many years of use out of the old ones, I'd say at least 15 years.

For production work I recommend a corded high-end workstation, but for repairs this iron can't be beat.

There are a few times when I have to get out the big Weller gun, but the Wahl does the job 95 percent of the time.

Review of Weller P2C Portasol Professional Self-Igniting Cordless Butane Solder Iron

For anyone who owned or used the original Portasol soldering iron, they will notice some vast improvements to this second design. Primarily, ignition no longer requires a "bic-lighter-type-spark" (that usually required at least three efforts), as it has been replaced by a piezo-electric spark. In addition, the gas supply seems much more stable and controllable,and finally, the soldering tips are much more robust and use the same mounting device for easy switching (though one must still wait for those parts to cool down before handling). Overall, the tool is well-built and very quick to achieve soldering temperatures. The only negatives I see are the relatively short run-time per tank of gas (about 45 mins on a low setting - less than they claim), and the absence of a temperature gauge, or series of led lights to roughly indicate temp. I don't think this feature is present on other, even more expensive portable units, but it would be a nice addition to ensure that expensive electronic components (esp high power LEDs) don't get fried.
