    Electronics usually wants to control the temperature range more tightly than a butane soldering iron could do. Fine for plumbing work, though. Electronics soldering irons usually don’t have the thermal mass to handle plumbing work.

    My biggest complaint about the ts100, Pinecil, and the iFixit station is that the tips are specialized and rather expensive.

      Pinecil tips are standardized and third party options are extremely cheap on aliexpress or amazon
