LIke you, I know bugger all about soldering other than it's was a pain to use. Then I discovered temperature played an important part and invested in this (as I have the batteries... though still a tad more than 70 shekels), and storage was no major issue, Did a review on it (and the obsolete on) on LJ a while back.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
