This is a hotter version of the Weller P2KC Pro.
Butane heats up fast and cordless is convenient! I will never go back to electric soldering irons.
Here's a quick comparison with the P2KC Pro model:
Runtime
P2KC: 90 min
PSI100K: 120 min
Temperature
P2KC: 850F
PSI100K: 1076F
Equivalent Wattage
P2KC: 25-75W
PSI100K: 125W

I am giving this product 3 stars because of its poorly written instructions,
Besides the iron itself, the kit includes a 3/32" double flat soldering tip, a 3/16" double flat soldering tip, a 5/16" hot knife tapered to a point along one edge, and a hot air blower that can be used with an included air deflector for shrinking electrical heat shrink tubing. Also included is a small sponge for wiping the soldering tips, and a cylindrical tip cover. The tip cover has a projection which, when the cover is placed on the iron, holds the sliding butane on/off switch in the off position. Don't expect to find a parts list, or information on the cylindrical tip cover, anywhere in the instructions.
The instructions, however, do contain the obligatory identical instructions in French and Spanish. The instructions are written in such small print that it almost requires a magnifying glass to read them, particularly if one is over 55.
The iron itself does what it is designed to do. It heats very fast, about 15-20 seconds to solder-melting point temperature. Its maximum heat output is equivalent to 125 Watts (adjustable). For comparison, the heat output of its less expensive companion, the Weller 3PKC, lies in the 25-75 Watt range. I have used the 3/32" soldering tip and the air blower/heat deflector to solder and to shrink electrical tubing. It works fine.
All of the markings on the iron are in raised black symbols on a black background. Experience will teach which symbols stand for off and on.
The kit is made in Ireland, The instructions may have come from the darkest region of Tibet.

I have owned my Portasol Iron for 15 years now and i have used it quite regularly, it is my preferred iron for quick jobs or field repairs. the iron heats fast and puts out good heat i have no trouble soldering Lugs on 10Ga wire (although slow have even done 6Ga). The unit also has nice one handed controls Just Turn gas on with your thumb, click the ignitor a few times and 15 seconds or so youre soldering, but shut it off when youre done and just reignite for the next terminal. if you lay it on the bench for a few seconds between soldering jobs it will overheat and damage the plating on the tip. My iron survived a few years in alaska kicking around in a tool bag. The temp (Gas Flow) adjuster also works good, the unit has a exhaust port on the side of the tip that used to annoy me because it would burn whatever you were working next to, I just make sure i am aware of where its pointing and have found it works great for shrink wrap heating from the exhaust so you dont have to change tips. My Butane tank just froze (i guess it froze as another butane item failed the same day for the same reason) and broke but after the use and abuse it has suffered i guess i cant complain much. i hope the replacement lasts me as long.
happy Soldering

This is not a toy
Exactly what I wanted. Heats up in 30 sec. Has enough heat to soulder 18 ga wire and probably 14 ga. Can get other tips. Case OK. Last a long time on a refill.
