I think it's a pretty neat tool, but it didn't come with any fuel, and I never got around to buying any..

I have two propane torches and a 240 watt Weller Expert soldering pistol,
so when I need to solder big stuff, those are my go-to tools.

This week, I ordered a little LNA board kit off Ebay, and the 0603 SMT parts are so small,
I realized that my smallest (40w) soldering iron is way too large for this job.
A new iron is in the mail.. Coopertools SP12 Mini Lightweight Solder Iron - Amazon.com

If I was still working, I could have done this on my lab bench (with the right tools).
During my lunch hour of course..
