The Pro32 is a staple tool for the hobbyist, tinkerer, or electrical engineer. Featuring a sleek body, complete with temperature adjustment buttons and an OLED display, the Pro32 feels good in the hand and offers a wide temperature range for operation. Its internal heating element warms up to operating temperature in just 12 seconds!
Rapid Warmup
With the help of dual temperature sensors, the internal heating element reaches its operating temperature extremely fast—just 12 seconds! The tip temperature can be set between 212° F and 752° F (100° C to 400° C) using the adjustment buttons and OLED display.

Flashing a soldering iron. What a time to be alive.
Pinecil is the same design and half the price. $25

https://pine64.com/product/pineci...46c16e2e66

I've bought six of the pinecils as gifts for my engineering team. They love them.

pinecil comes with only 1 tip and no power supply and is USB C.
Now that the Pinecil is in stock at half the price, the T100 clones are a lot less appealing. For ~$60 shipped you can get the Pinecil [pine64.com] with 5 tips [pine64.com] (or save $25 if you don't need the extra tips). Since the Pinecil has USB-C AND a barrel jack, you don't have to deal with any adapter nonsense.

Just be warned that the Pinecils do ship from China (unless something has changed). I ordered when it was in stock on April 18, and didn't receive it until May 13th.

I bought one recently on woot for 59.99 and I even made a dyi power cord to use with a pd power bank to make this iron portable. This is a great price.

May I ask what PD decoy module you used and the type of power bank?

How is this different from the SQ-D60B MINI or the pinecel?

Damn this is amazing. I've had the ts100 on my wishlist for the last year can't believe this model is a fraction of the price, does not use custom expensive tips like the TS80 and uses usbc. In for one

Would this or the Pinecil be good enough for microsoldering work on an iPhone PCB?

I used this iron today to replace potentiometers on two of my Xbox controllers that were drifting, had temp set between 375 and 380, to desolder and solder the old and new pots. This iron is awesome, I even made an adapter for it to use with a power bank. Got it for around 60$ on woot a few months ago.
