Our verdict

A pen sized smart soldering iron that runs from USB-C power and heats in seconds, with a wall adapter in the kit. Heavy ground plane work may push past what a small iron can sustain.

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

Pros
  • Pen sized and light
  • Heats in seconds
  • USB-C power, adapter included
  • Programmable heat profiles
Cons
  • 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.
