Pinecil soldering iron
The Pinecil Smart Mini Portable Soldering Iron is a great, compact soldering iron that can be powered via a USB-C cable, including PD (Power Delivery). It’s practically weightless, yet it runs an actual Open Source firmware, IronOS, that manages the temperature, sleep mode, and other features. It has a tiny OLED display to show you the tip temperature, up to 400° C. If you need a temperature boost, just hold down the “+” button and it will increase the tip temp. You can flip the display if you are left-handed, too. If you set it down, it will go into sleep mode to conserve power. When you pick it back up again, it ramps the temperature back up within a few short seconds. The tip is replaceable/interchangeable. It’s a great soldering iron for delicate electronics, quick fixes, and remote use with a battery pack.
