I've always known the as "soldering irons" which goes back to the days prior to when the 
were heated by and elecetric current when you put the iron in the fire, so to speak.

The best I ever had was powered by butane and used a catalyst to flamlessly burn the gas. 
Great soldering iron, grat heat shrink device.
