Paul,
I know what you mean about cordless tools,
that Scope soldering gun is only used as an absolute last resort, it takes 9-10 hours to charge and about half an hour to discharge it, it doesnt have spare batteries either.
Sven,
Regarding those Mini-Blow torches, it really depends on what you want to use it for?, you can't expect miracles from something that size.
I think a Scripto is a cheap Chinese copy of the BIC lighter, it's a lot thinner than the BIC.
(My apologies to the Scripto Co., if I am wrong at all, here).
But, I do know that the Mini-torches are good for light Heatshrink work and some soft-soldering.
