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 :)
