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'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.

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.

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.
