On this Weller, you set the power, not the temperature, and nothing monitors it. When more heat is needed to maintain temperature, it's up to you to guess and turn up the knob. When less heat is needed, you have to turn it down. Or more often, notice too late that it was too hot and damaged components or boards.

It seems when it comes to less powerful irons many lean towards USB-C powered mainly for portability and convenience. With Hakko you get options for different top size/shape that makes it more convenient for some projects. Milwaukee M12 cordless also compatible with Halkko tips so for me personally between 888D and M12 I have both convenience and portability although for M12 there's no precise temperature control but it handles auto wires just fine.
But this is 120V. Not sure how USB-C is relevant here. I'm only going to use this for automotive wiring. Any issues with this just for that limited use?
I'm not as knowledgeable as them, but they recommended the pinecil on another post and it honestly has been the best one I've ever used. It's fairly cheap, but I did get their fancy power supply that isn't technically needed. It's portable, programmable, small, and heats up in seconds

Yeah I don't need a battery powered soldering iron with the "Smart" suffix added to it. Haha. Just need a basic and reliable soldering iron that will heat up wire for solder.
No, nothing really wrong with it. But one you go cordless, it's hard to go back, especially when working on cars where the cord can really get in your way.
That does make sense. Heck maybe I'll get the Pinecil after all.
Fair enough, but this is the thread that convinced me. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/919222
30 watts may not be enough for large wires (which sink a lot of heat) so you might risk cold solder joints. For smaller wires I'm sure it's fine. A pro might have more insight than me on the auto use.
Weller does make good temperature controlled soldering irons though. Just not this one
