I bought this really cool Bernz-O-Matic butane torch/soldering gun because the lame CoolTouch soldering gun I bought is useless! For $20 the Bernz-O-Matic came with extra fuel, a handy stand for keeping hot things away from things not intended to be heated, and a pretty ingenious little shroud for converting the torch into a nice, comfortable, controllable, and completely cord free soldering gun! The $20 I spent on the CoolTouch unit did not deliver even 10% of the quality, functionality, and convenience and the Bernz... unit. In fact, the CoolTouch was worse than useless because I spent over an hour attempting to solder something, and since it cools down immediately after breaking the electrical circuit between the two leads on the unit and your workpiece, all I succeeded in doing was create beautiful little blobs if silver colored metal.

not only does it solder, but it makes creme brulee (spelling is approximate) just as well if not better than the $50 creme brulee torch I got at Willams and Sonoma. Even worse, my $50 special didn't even come with a soldering tip.
