Is there such a thing as a good cordless soldering iron?

I'll add my vote for the Wahl ISOTIP - They're inexpensive, I had a couple where the batteries eventually went bad, but you can always replace them, and the heat up and work very well for basic soldering stuff when you don't want to wait for an iron to heat up.
Plus my Weller WTCP iron gets fully hot in just under a minute so thats not an issue there either.
DO NOT... I repeat... DO NOT use the portable "Cold Heat" irons on your games.
From what I understand - they suck. I've also seen the tips get trashed very easily on them. Even a cheapo radio shack soldering iron is better.
