This is important. There are TWO things to consider. Wattage and heat
capacity. Small tips have low heat capacity. A 100W old fashioned "big
birtha", the kind with the 1/2 inch diameter, 2-1/2 inch long tip will out
perform ANY "gun" when trying to do large work. You need that stored up
heat to heat a large thing.

Suggest you buy a butane (cigarette lighter gas) soldering iron with
adjustable gas flow to change temperature.
These irons come with different kathalytic burner bits and have a capacity
of well over 100 Watts equivalent.
Electric soldering guns are prone to failure and don't sink much heat into
the object to be soldered.

I bought a Weller gun recently to unsolder some can capacitors from a
steel chassis. I was totally dissapointed
