Something like this works for me- high enough wattage (50W) to reach solder melting temp if used outdoors.

Depends on your usage, though.
And how much you want to spend....

I used to have one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Snap-On-Blue- ... 1c279917b7 excellent bit of kit. There are cheaper brands out there.

Seb, soldering is as easy as wiring a plug. That's if you remember the days when we had to put our own plugs on electrical items.

Or the old school way heat a knife up on the cooker to melt the solder on to the wires

Hot knife works well.
