NOT enough BTU's, Steve, if you're in a cold climate.
I remind you, Steve....a cold day in CA is much like a
Spring 'morn in Vermont.
In -20....a 12v powered anything is inadequate.
\Mike....where in IBM land are you?

Subject: RE: [BULK] - [TowerTalk] portable soldering iron
If you want to be artful, buy a soldering tip for the propane
torch. 19.95 at ACE, complete.
::A 12V powered 120W soldering iron (10A), with a 14AH gel-cell in a
weatherproof pack, is also a good thing and doesn't cost much. I use the
pair, which cost about $75 new retail, for "field" repairs. The battery
lasts for about 30 mins of serious soldering, which ought to be enough even
on a very cold day. -WB2WIK/6
