Overview
A heating element built into a pen sized handle, with temperature sensors and an OLED screen, does the work. Power comes over USB-C or a DC supply, and a boost button jumps to full heat for heavy joints.
Portability is the reason to own it: fast heat, a small body and a USB-C supply you can carry anywhere. The small iron has less thermal mass than a bench station, so large joints may need the boost.
Who it's for
Electronics hobbyists and repair techs who want a travel iron that runs from a USB-C power source. Bench users soldering thick cable all day may prefer a larger station.
Pros and cons
- Pen sized and light
- Heats in seconds
- USB-C power, adapter included
- Programmable heat profiles
- Small iron for large joints
- Only one tip included
- Warranty not stated
Performance notes
Heat delivery depends on the power source: a stronger PD supply gives more wattage to the tip. Dual temperature and motion sensors drop it into sleep when idle and wake it when lifted.
