    Can anyone recommend a cordless soldering iron/gun for basic soldering in and around the engine bay/dash etc?

    I'm assuming gas powered or rechargeable are the only types?

    What is the best tip to use also? It will primarily be used for 1-3mm wire

    Budget 20-30 if possible?

    I ended up with a Potasol SuperPro 125, it was around 60, but its been great so far even with 6mm wire. Comes with heatshrink/plastic knife/blow torch/hot air gun attachments too!
    They do a cheaper range too which will be really good if the quality is the same as the 125 :thumbup:

    Ive got one that i got from HobbyCraft a couple of years ago. Gas, similar to RJs with different tips for plastic cutting as well.
