Tiny Soldering "gun"?

Benz-o-matic.. NOT a propane torch with a soldering tip but a honest to electronics soldering iron. Designed specifically to solder not "Adapted"
Does a fantastic job.. Eats butane. but man does it deliver the needed BTUs.
Harbor Freight sells a knock-off of (what I assume to be) this little gizmo, for a quite reasonable price, and it also works a treat...and likewise eats butane. Having no power cord to deal with is at times a great advantage.
I saw the other day that Ryobi introduced a little AC inverter unit (about 150 Watts, if memory serves) as part of their 18V cordless tool line. That would similarly be mighty handy at times for soldering in odd places, using a traditional iron. I haven't seen a similar gizmo for other cordless tool systems, though I can't say I've particularly been looking for one either since I only have Ryobi batteries and tools.
