I want to get one of these for my next soldering project. Apparently heats to 800* and can buy it at AutoZone or any other store in the article.

My dad uses one of those portable propane torches for soldering really thick stuff like 8 guage an up. It works quickly but working in a tight spot near other wires is not an option or very tricky.
