This iron is extremely quick and easy to light with a butane lighter, so that's how I always do it.
I like the small chisel point tip that comes with it. I've soldered everything from pc boards to tin cans with it.
I like the fact that this iron isn't prone to overheating like many butane irons are.
Finally, I like the readily-available and inexpensive replacement tips.
Minuses:
I don't like the fact that I can't see the butane level.
I don't like the fact that when there is too much butane in the reservoir, the operation is erratic...it works okay until you tip it down to solder and then it does all sorts of unpleasant things (hence four stars rather than five).
All in all, it's a great iron for a good price as long as you give it only small sips of butane. Why just a "good" price? Because the Bernzomatic ST200T is at least as good and costs less. But I love them both. :)
