Try reading some reviews on the soldering iron ...It's a complete and total con. Do seriously you think you could solder off 4 1.5v AA batteries?
All it does it short circuit the batteries when you touch stuff, meaning that the tip heats up. It only heats up in a very local area (too small to do any real work) and if you hold it on for more than a few seconds, you start frying the batteries inside it.
Get one of the gas powered torch ones from Maplin for a tenner, *much* better.
