After many years it's still currently available, Reliability beyond my expectation, long tip life and cheap to fill using a UN2037 portable gas range cartridge.
Did I mention that I might be satisfied with this product  |
Sounds good... a quick check on Amazon reveals at least 3 different "lines" of Weller butane soldering irons:
1. Cheapie, but with halfway decent reviews:

2. High quality "Portasol" line:
http://www.amazon.com/Weller-P2C-But...soldering+iron
Which I am guessing is Weller rebrand of the Irish-made products:
http://www.amazon.com/Portasol-01128...soldering+iron
Both brands are available in similar kits, wihch include a variety of tips. Is your Weller Portasol kit Irish made?
3. High quality, but more expensive "Pyropen" line (real Weller?- made in USA????):

Amazing lineup with many choices.
E-M:
do you happen to remember the brand/model of iron that you used in school?
