iFixit USB-C Soldering Station
Battery (or power bank) powered soldering iron has been in my toolkit for some time. I had been using the TS80P. Which had been good for small field jobs but not really capable to fully replace a professional desktop station.
The iFixit station is the best of the both worlds. Designed to sit nicely on a desk, with a specially designed station / controller / power bank (100W output, 2 output ports). And equally handy to take outside / to a car / or wherever there is a need to do some soldering and dragging a power cable would not be easy.
They don't say it, but clearly the base has been designed with some additional tools available in future - as it has two independent USB-C power ports. The quality is top-notch: great ergonomic design and top grade materials like the super elastic cable.
I'd say I'd recommend this as a Christmas present, but the store says now that "Due to high demand, preorders may not ship until January 2025.". So get in line if you like it, maybe a pre-order voucher will do as a present?
