Gas Powered Soldering Irons - Looking for Recommendations

[scottystitch]

Can the collective provide any recommendations regarding gas powered soldering irons.

 

It would be for use on wiring droppers, etc., to track, particularly in restricted access areas, soldering track to copper strip for board joins,  and to a lesser extent etched.brass kit building.

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say money is no object but I'm prepared to pay for a quality product that will last.

 

I would prefer a refillable device over one that requires particular cartridges.  A significant other had gas powered hair curlers that used cartridges, and that was a bit of a pain.

 

Any advice gratefully received.

Nowt wrong with the Aldi one

 

I also have a couple of Weller gas irons but they cost 4 times the price of the Aldi version and don’t solder any better

Parkside (can't remember whether it was from Aldi or Lidl - one or the other), it's an excellent gas torch and soldering iron - and very cheap too.

Any reason for not using a rechargable electric iron?

No preference myself, just a suggestion.
