FWIW read the reviews before you dive in. I bought one a while back on an even crazier deal because I couldn't argue the usefulness having M12 stuff, but these are probably not good for someone that is going to use it a lot or for thick joints.

I like Milwaukee tools and own many in the M12 line, but these are junk. I sold my after the first use over a year ago and own a butane powered unit for field work. It works much better then this ever would have. Cool idea, bad execution.

I'll stick with my butane one then.

Probably the best option other than maybe Pinecil and a USB-C PD power bank if you can live with a small cord.

I agree. I've had one for about 2.5 years and find it acceptable for some applications, but it's pretty unrefined. I often ended up using my Weller soldering station with an M18 power inverter if I'm away from power. I still use the M12 occasionally for quick stuff since it's very convenient and heats up in about 20s.
That being said, if you do want one, this is a very decent price.

Horses for courses. I'm a Harry Homeowner and find this iron perfect for the occasional soldering job. For finer work, I pull out the Weller. I could never get a butane unit to work for me reliably, but I'm sure that was user error.

My advice, get a pinecil and use a battery adapter to power it

Pass on this, it sucks. Agree with others, butane or USB-C and battery bank is really the only way to go cordless.

I bought one years back, it kinda works, but feels more like a cheap ryobi tool than a milwaukee. It's fat and unwieldy. Honestly I might buy one of those USB cordless ones on amazon seems a lot more functional than this.

I have a pinball collection and I LOVE this Iron. Tempted to get one as a backup. It does need some time to melt the bigger globs some people put down, especially on heavier gage wiring on some solenoids. But I havent used a service outlet and a corded iron in all the years Ive owned one of these. I still use a nicer more controlled soldering station for board work, but I have found this very useful.

From what I've been seeing, any Milwaukee tools that need to generate heat (ie: a heat gun, or a soldering iron) may be best to just get a plug in version.
A $20 Harbor Freight heatgun with a cord will work better than the Milwaukee battery powered heat gun that is 5x the price. And I am a huge Milwaukee fan. I have a ton of M18 and a bunch of M12 tools.

What locations are you seeing this at $89 because I see at $119 at my local HD so it must be a YMMV?

Pretty sure this was a deal of the day or week type thing, it's probably expired now.
