I have used an Antex plumber's electric soldering iron which grips the
barrel all the way around for very fast heating; the very large tips (grips)
hold a massive amount of heat. The newer type with the top hat sleeve
inserted up inside the braid are quicker and easier and more certain,
leaving just the pin to solder.
I have found that sockets also fail: the socket loses its grip and becomes
intermittent. This is poor product that starts at the manufacturer.
