I was at Summit Tools earlier this week and saw the Milwaukee cordless soldering tool behind the display case. For $99.00, it's a pretty good deal. Of course, I haggled for a slightly lower price. Hardly any mark up on those things. Anyway, I just tried it on a few LED's I had to solder onto a circuit board. Man, it's so easy to use. No stupid butane to worry about. I do miss the phaser overload sound of the old Pyropen at startup, but this puppy starts up pretty quickly. It comes with a pencil tip as well as, a chisel tip. I can put it down and not worry about burning the surface. It's pretty stable when you stand it on end. Even when positioned at any of the three angle settings. It's going to shine when I use it outdoors. No worry about flame going out like the butane soldering tool. Lose the cord, and now the butane!
Still, for serious work, you can't beat a soldering station with its temperature settings. I love my Hakko. Not going to take it outside, though.
