Default Best Soldering Iron under $20

I originally heard of this soldering iron from mustanglover. Its a BernzOmatic and its $15 at Lowes. Its a six piece kit. Its a Butane torch with soldering attachments. It heats up in less than a minute, has adjustable heat settings, and is my favorite soldering iron yet. Here are some pics. Also in the pic of the different tips the fat piece on the top of the soldering adapter is a heat shrinker. I rate this a 9/10 for its price, durability, and great performance. Here are the pics:

i hate plug ins. I went through 3 they dont heat up enough to melt the **** solder! with this its a flame that heats up the metal so it heats up really quick. And its $15 which is what a average soldering iron cost but this comes with 6 tips and stuff and a sponge and a bunch of solder. And i vagly remember ZX9BART saying he uses butane soldering irons...

I wasnt going to get one untill you mentioned that. But I cant get one anyways. I cant seem to find a lowes around me. The cloest one is probably a hour away. But yea, I like the plug in ones the most. Mine heats up quick enough, and melts the solder like its plastic.

Why?
You know you don't need one to make a Micro-T BL, right?
You just plug everything in...
