    Oh, I was dead serious. You can get battery drills that come with a fucking app now, I’m not surprised at all it’s the same with solder irons.

    Power and temp up and down is just too simple, I guess.

      Owner of 2 pinecils here, there are buttons and a display that shows the current temperature and other stuff. I only just learned that there’s an app, it works more than fine on its own, out of the box.

      I got that specific iron because I needed to power it from 12v, and it works very well on the USB PD power supply I already have for my laptop.

        That’s good to know. I’d quite like to have a soldering iron that I can run from an 18v power tool battery actually.
