How do you star a flame war on soldering irons?

With a butane powered iron?

With a propane torch?

just trying to stir up trouble

Sounds like he's on topic to me. Looks like your the troller.

not to me looks like he wants to sart a fight flaming over soldier
irons

if that is ontopic

There was no flame on his part, just an opinion. Soldering irons and other
tools are on topic with this group. Has he brought it up in
alt.sex.gangbangs, I could see you having a beef with that.

Depends what you're soldering... for very small low mass jobs... that
cool heat soldering iron might be fine. For electronics work...
probably not very useful.

I did and every time I needed it for what IT IS, it worked very well.

Still using the same batteries it came with. At least a year now. Used it
about 6 times
in situations that required a device as it is advertised.

How many watts is one of these things equal to?

You want that in "Bird" watts?

LOL... think you've exposed the root problem here. That thing couldn't
be anywhere near the power of a regular soldering iron in the 30-50W
range.

That type of soldering iron is not intended for that kind of use.
Instead it is actually a good iron for small surface area heating and
even surface mounted parts.

Alkaline AA batteries are rated between 1600 to 1900 milliamp/hour.

Most ICs are tolerent to 400 degrees celsius for up to 10 seconds when
heat is applied to the pin. In IR assited reflow ovens, most
components on the board are subject to 275 degree C heat upwards of 45
to 90 seconds. Total reflow process time for surface mounted
components in a reflow oven is between 5 and 7 minutes. Most of that
will determine the pallete material that act as carrier for the PCBs.

FR4/5 laminate material will withstand heat around 300 degrees C for 7
to 10 minutes without discoloration or delamination.

Actually cordless soldering irons are preffered in small static
senesitive areas. Larger wattage irons that are plugged into AC
outlets can do more damage than cordless irons with static sensitive
parts.
