Kinda funny, you couldn't pry my weller away from me,
but I do have a
couple spare $15 butane units from Rat Shack that get
used when a cord
isn't practical.
I use a Hakko 940 temperature controlled station for
delicate work, a 40W gun type for heavy duty work and a
25W RS rod for minor stuff (including melting plastic,
etc.), meaning I ususally use the RS model.
