Hi. I need a new soldering Iron, I would like it to be cordless (so butane) and would like to have good adjustablity my price range is under 50$  as well as would like it to be adjustable from 15W to 40W or higher...closest match I found was this one

my first choise is going to be this one as it goes from 15W to 75W and comes with asortment of tips and nice case...

I would stay away from cordless irons, no way they hold enough charge to be effective.

 

The usual recommendations are the Hakko 936 (or close of this) and Weller station (can't remember model).  They aren't too expensive on eBay.

Its butane powered, and adjustable between 15W and 75W electric Soldering Iron, more then enough power to soldering most things I will encounter, probably  not best for working with highly senstive electronics as the heat and power will vary ever so slightly, but then again Im not planning to do that high of preccision work. Thanks though, I will invest into a Solderings Station when I decide to build something quiet abit more complex.
