They are like a lot of other tools. For the task it is intended to do, it works great. For others, it is too much heat in the wrong place, or won't fit in some spot, or any other kind of thing. A simple torch (small), is great to solder big joints with, where you want to flow a lot of solder into a big important joint, I find. I use a Hakko soldering iron for everything else. Cord is no problem for me. See if it will convert to a simple small flame torch. It will be useful, but you have to get an electric to do wiring easily. Have fun.
