back to butane soldering irons

Weller PyroPen Junior:




I was given a pair of these decades ago at my college work-study job. They're finicky to light, but work pretty
well as both a soldering iron and a torch. Requires a source of fire light a lighter to light. Runs on butane.

Due to its age, the body and the shell are aluminum, so it gets hot if you're not careful. Mine came with two
tips: a pencil-point soldering iron and a hot air blower. Doesn't hold a lot of butane, and is hard to see how
full it is.
