Superior Hobbies offers 3 very good irons from Hakko. Below is a link to each.

HAKKO 936-13 - The best iron to have for all around use. Now available with 3 different flame wraps. It is also available without the wrap. The wraps are not applied out of the box.

HAKKO 456 - The Beast. If you want to build batteries in seconds then this is the iron. The idle temp is 1100 deg and comes with a wide tip. It has 63W and never slows down. Our listing includes a stand with it.

HAKKO 503 - Good power at 60W and is a great price. It includes a small stand with it as well.

Not a chance. Soldering guns are all but useless for our purposes.

You need a massive tip to get the job done. The little loop tip on a gun will not cut it.

Just picked this model up at Duvac in Pasadena. Now I can finish up my second battery set just in time for the weekend. Thanks to everyone that provided information.
