m12 soldering irin
this is an awesome soldering iron. the head flexes to get you into the right position to finish the job. the handles a little big, but thats necessary to fit the milwaukee m12 battery. it heats up very fast which is great. the only thing that could make it better is if it hsd variable, selectable heat options. overall its nice.

This tool is quite useful. I had a Werner cable type soldering gun for many years and this has become might go to Tool since I got it. It has enough power for most wire soldering when it involves Heating and Cooling
