I'm looking for a pencil soldering iron that's portable for light electronics work, replacing caps and doing bodge work.
Wireless preferred
Any recommended ones?

Bought one from China but didn't work and got refunded. Have an usb one that does work, but is not wireless

Wep 982

You can find an identical product for milwaukee too
>>
Wireless because of mobility concerns/you don't want to accidentally tug on the cord?
Or because you envision being somewhere (outside?) without an extension cord?

I knew a guy in college who carried a butane one and also said its good for self defence. He regularly posts on /k/ if you're wondering.

Portability and not having to deal with a cord primarily.
I already have a corded soldering station anyway.

Butane doesn't give me the temp control I want, tried it and I ended up scorching the board

The thing you put in your OP picture is a piece of shit, total toy, doesn't work.

If you want a really good one for a low price, Sequre S99 of bang good + original JBC tips with 2.5 Ohm, 150W of power.
It runs of 21V DC so any common powertool battery is suitable, there's adapters for most common batteries on chink sites.
If you want something that supports USB power delivery to run off a power bank, pinecil is dirt cheap and good and frankly all the newer ts-101 etc clones are all fine. But that limits you to like 60-75W.

Any of the T12 soldering stations that attach to a power tool battery (usually makita)

Plus you can use those T-shaped tips to pull off caps or connectors

Or the big T12 D54 for large thermal mass parts or wire

This thing kicks ass. Easy fill with butane. Cap covers the tip so you can put it away warm. Integrated wire kickstand. Just remember to turn down the throttle when not actively using it or it will burn thru gas fast. I just used this to mod an iPod so its doable with bodge microsoldering.

I see you dont want butane but this has pretty fine control of the throttle, thoughbeit no temp readout.
