Hi All !

Seems like we're going for the longest thread here, so i'll add my
bit :)

Many years ago i bought a "Portasol Model P-1K Cordless-Refillable
Butane Gas-Power'd Soldering Tool Kit" (sic) . This contains,
besides a torch "plug-in", catalytic hot-knife, soldering bit, a
catalytic driven hot air thing . Works well on small schrinks, never
tried on big ones . The hot air will melt solder, and boil pvc
insulation, but it will not burn or scorch it like a torch, even
those small ones, when they work . Bought two, VERY unreliable, not
worth the money . The only pocket type torch with piezo which i know
that works well, is the "Pocket Burner 2 by Prince" . Sadly
unavailable in Europe (tell me otherwise), i got one in Tokyo in '93,
busted it by filling with a bad gas refill, grrrr ...

Bye for now .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
