Soldering iron recomendation wanted

[Frosties]

I gave up using the cheap mains powered irons years ago and have been using gas  (butane) soldering irons for the last 15 - 20 yrs. As well as a soldering iron, you can do small brazing work, use it as a heat gun for heat shrink around cables etc and change tip type. If you have a Maplins near you then I'd get one of these below. Can't recommend a gas iron brand to be honest but would probably stay well clear of Ebay - thing would probably explode.
