Which soldering iron for old car work?

[Huntsman]

Possibly not the correct section of PH, but sodlering is something old car owners might need to do.

I need to solder earth wires onto stop and tail bulb holders, so the bulb holder is a fairly big heat sink.

I'm thinking about this

Comments? Other suggestions?

Or this Weller?

I've always used a gas soldering iron on my cars, they are adjustable for different jobs and (the ones I have) have different tips as well, plus of course no power lead.

I used to have to climb all over cranes so power wasn't always readily available where I was and it was very useful, never really seen the reason to buy a electric one as I've not really done extended bench work.

Thanks, I had some experience of gas ones abotu 25 years ago and they were rubbish then. I have a 12 volt one I use on the boat, but looking for a big chunky one now, the 80W mains one is 33% more oomph than the 60w gas one whichi I think will be best for me.

Righty ho, I'll get a gas one.

Happened to be passing Screwfix...couldn't help myself...more cheap Chinese junk...240volt...40w...£7.99, did the job a treat.
