Now considering a butane soldering torch by Weller.

Anyone have any experience with butane soldering torches?

Thanks for any reponses.

Yep
They don't work as well as mains operated.

They are ok but I don't use it for electric wires just landing gear and tubing.

They are ideal for heavier soldering work, where you need to heat all of the components to get a good joint, such as heavy gauge undercarriage wire. They are also almost essential when constructing tinplate fuel tanks.
I have a very small butane "pen", which gives a very precise flame, which, if turned right down, and used carefully, is also ideal for shrinking heat shrink tubing!

Wilf:

My immediate soldering need is to construct Sullivan "Golden (control) Cables" for one of my RC models. I'd like the soldering to be neat and precise as the cables will be very visable when the model is completed.

Our son has a Weller Parasol torch and recommends it for this type of work. He uses it in his profession as an electrical engineer. My budget would go up to $100 for such a purchase.

Looking at options now.

I use my wife's creme crème brulee kitchen torch quite a bit to heat
stubborn engines for dissassembly. Probably do well for sheet
work as Wilf mentioned above.

I like my Bernzomatic butane micro torch but I like using those little pencil torches as well. I go through those torches all the time though as an o-ring gets burnt up and they just plain get beat up. I continue to use them as they have a small fine flame and are easy to get into those tight places. I did have a solder tip at one time but I have no idea where they went.

This is the micro torch that I use...

Butane soldering torches Micro_10

Refillable from gas lighter cannisters.
It's claimed that it is hot enough for small-scale brazing and silver soldering, but I've never tested the claims.

The suggestions made so far have been right on track helping me in the selection process. Butane is my preference over battery power which are proprietorial.

I like the aspect of portability because I'd like to use the torch in a largre variety of applications: modeling, household, automotive............. I want a tool that is versitile and simple to use.

More ideas and thoughts are still welcome. I've been getting some good input and others may find them useful too.
