I carried a Pyropen on the flight(s) from Houston to Falkland Islands and
back in checked luggage last November. Was told not to charge it with
butane but did anyway without consequence.

Subject: [TowerTalk] 220/240 volt soldering irons
Fellow tower talkians:
Any one know of a source stateside for 220/240 volt soldering irons I can
take to a friend overseas?
I've found a couple Weller irons, one a 25 watt (WP25D) for $38.06 and the
other a 100 watt (W60PD3) for $74.13 from All Spec. Heck Sears wanted less
than $10.00 yesterday for a 25 watt iron in a store I visited.
I tried several places, but few listed 220/240 volt irons. I figured that
the current draw of a 25-40 watt 120 volt domestic iron might be a little
much for some of those tourist voltage converters. TSA won't let you ship
the butane irons such as Pyropen, etc., by air in either carryon or checked
baggage, as I read their regulations.
Tom, WW5L
