Great for small soldering jobs. $54.90 but extra $10 off if purchased using the Amazon app for the first time bringing price down to $44.90 delivered.
CamelCamelCamel.
It's just normal lighter butane which you can get from anywhere. Supermarkets, Bunnings, etc.
uses lighter gas from hardware stores or cigarette stores.
Surely we aren't now posting deals that assume you're a first time Amazon customer to get the price
It's actually a good price even at $54.90.
The op is not suppose to put the price after amazon app discount.
True, should report it.
Other than being wireless, what's the advantage of using this instead of a regular soldering iron?
Other than being wireless
That's the biggest positive. When you need a soldering iron where there's no power socket nearby, it's invaluable. I have a TS80P and this Dremel and find that for some tasks, having to run a wire to a power bank is less convenient than a self-contained butane iron.

This will also let you shrink heatshrink tubing neatly, and make some creme brulee.
Came for the soldering, stayed for dessert
I use it mostly on my boat, it is quite versatile tool - soldering iron where you need it, hot knife for ropes, webbing and fabric, heat gun. BTW, you can use it as hot air when soldering too.
I would buy several more, but it is Dremel - going very strong even in a hostile environment.
Good for people who only have occasional need and limited space to stash tools.
I’ve had a flash Weller butane that didn’t get very hot and a Portasol butane that was a fantastic tool but replacement tips are very exey.
I’d guess that a Dremel would be a good bit of kit.
Yeah, it's more powerful than my Portasol. Noticeably higher gas output.
Don't forget to ensure the hot exhaust port on the tip is facing upwards and not towards your workpiece.
The entire kit including the soldering iron looks identical to the aldi one that comes up regularly.
How much do the Aldi ones go for?
About $30 from memory
That Workzone kit is very different gear from this Dremel, it’s not a case of simple rebadging.
How do you get the refill butane gas? And where from?
