I opened up your second link to the 220W version, and the price was $35.80. I closed the window, opened up this reply window, then forgot what the cents were...so I opened the link again and it was back to $30.54

If I didn't already have one, I'd get the 820

Wish I could justify buying one of these. Right now I don't think I'd use it enough to really need it.

I have the portasol soldering iron I really like it but its hard to get it to light sometimes and yes its full of butane.

No more, the price went back up to $39 but there is an option for the $33 on back order if you click the used/new link to the right.

For those using this, I believe it is impervious that you use tripe or quadruple filtered butane. I've owned a Weller branded Portasol for about 10 years. The only issues I've ever had with not lighting were remedied by using "Premium" butane.
For those on the wire about buying one, Id suggest getting one to just to have. I use mine all the time when I dont have a lighter around. Where it really shines for me is when I'm working on vehicle electrical. Nothing like it when working under a dash on a cold day. I use a folded up canvas tarp to catch the solder drips and keep the torch from burning the carpets / floor mats.

The heat gun tip gets hot enough to melt solder so I rarely use that tip on it. And it makes it easy when using heat shrink on a splice.

These are a must have tool........ Works great on heat shrink tubing, soldering wires where there is no electric and applying heat to a small area.

 

[FigureItOut]

This is a very good butane. Filtered 5X. Strangely, I've not had good results with Weller butane. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FP2XV2C/?tag=atomicindus08-20
Edit: Filtered 14 times, not 5 times as I stated. I really need to start checking my accuracy when posting.

Us cheap ***, skinflints use a BBQ lighter for heat shrink ! The generic ones are 99¢ at Walmart.
