[TowerTalk] [BULK] - portable soldering iron

[Steve Katz]

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
