I have been using Portasol SuperPro 125 for a few years, it’s been very good 
for soldering wires and PL-259s as well as shrinking heat shrinks. It has 
adjustable output and a few tips and accessaries. These butane soldering irons 
have been used in auto repair industry for long time. I heard Portasol is the 
OEM of several high end tool brands like Snapon.
