Soldering irons

That video was more about soldering to a PCB, where there's a danger of lifting pads. The technique for soldering connectors and terminals is slightly different. At the end, he mentions a second video for soldering turret terminals, which would be more appropriate.

Watch these old guides to understand the process before buying any equipment:

Thanks shemozzle999, the video was surprisingly really interesting. I can now change my approach to soldering with the knowledge picked up

Recently took a chance on a gas Iroda Solderpro 120 from Maplin. So far it has been brilliant. Plenty of power and has a mini blow torch for bigger jobs. Could be carried on the bike for running repairs. Great on the boat too. They were on offer here in Ireland last week. +1 on the lead solder.
