That's very similar to the American Beauty soldering iron I use to repair pinholes in the gas tank and tin the body with. I think I even touched up the tinning on the frame with mine once instead of using the torch. It looks big enough for that too. Great price! If I didn't have one I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
