Which one? Aren't all of the Lenovo adapters a bit expensive, and have non-removable USB-C cables?

They work well enough for basic soldering jobs, but as other people have commented, this is old, primitive tech with no temperature regulation. Since you already have a the power output of a...

What are you going on about?? Pinecil isn't rechargeable.

I am a novice as well and was close to buying this soldering iron/station. But reading what you wrote made sense to me (novice) - that it is temperature control that is important, not the ability to...

Works fine. You don't need a digital read out or precise temp control for most things.

I mean you could in theory calibrate the temperature using the power setting, though I doubt the crude build would allow for such fine-tuning.
