I don't own a soldering iron and thought it might be useful for future wiring mods. My GTS is kept in a garage too remote from my house to operate a mains soldering iron. Anyone own one and think it is a good purchase? https://www.simplify24.com/products/simplismart-wireless-soldering

For larger stuff, I use a butane soldering iron, e.g.: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Butane-Powered-Soldering-Iron-LSP-25/203457011

But, also I learned a secret from watching an electrician, a screwdriver heated with a propane torch can make a good soldering iron too.
