Still need to add something to get to 50.00 for free shipping. solder would bring it to about 52.00 or so. Not bad. Close to the same price from Ebay sellers for same TS100.

I'm not sure it's comparable. I don't have a ksger t12 but it looks like a standard iron. Many use the ts100 as an ultra portable tool. Sure I have a full station with a nice iron and hot air but I don't expect to cart that around to make quick repairs. The ts100 is clutch here.

This iron uses hakko tips.
I have to agree with the validity of the comparison. For a lot of people the ksger t12 is about the same portability since the ksger controller and the ts100 power brick are similar sizes. In my case I use my laptop ac adapter on the ts100 so the soldering iron basically takes no space. Good for when I don't think I need one.

Sure, you could probably DIY a solution to bypass the power supply and feed it 24V DC on the LV side, but it still wouldn't have near the same portability as the TS100 and similar. The PRO32 form factor is meant to replace the old portable butane or clunky battery powered (ala Milwaukee M12) soldering irons, not a mains powered benchtop setup.
Personally, I found a few shortcuts in the KSGER T12 that put me off a bit. The chassis isn't grounded, and the IEC connector is bridge soldered [wordpress.com] to the main board. The tip is grounded, technically making it ESD safe, but the shortcuts were somewhat concerning making me hesitate working around ESD sensitive components.
Went ahead and got this with the $10 off coupon and the power supply bundle.
Now that I already hit buy, any reason I should have gotten the TS100 instead? lol
Was thinking something like this:
