butane soldering irons?
I have owned 2 or 3 of these over the years (I am a Mechanic) and always ended up disappointed with them. They work great for the first 7-8 uses and then wont light. The last 2 were both snap-on fwiw (though I am pretty sure they are just re-branded portasol's) So I had given up on them completely.
However of late I have run into two people with solderpro 120's and they are both having good luck with them. One of them is a co-worker who has had it 6 years and it still starts on the 1st try. Now I am not planning to build another MS with it or anything, but I could damn sure use it in the car. Anyone here have any experience with these? or any other model I should be aware of that seems to last?

I have a Master UT-200A butane soldering iron. This iron is a beast, and works in windy out door conditions with ease. I have had mine for about 20 years now, and it still starts off its built in ignitor.
