🛠️ Hands-On with iFixit's New FixHub Soldering Tools

iFixit's new soldering station is portable, safety-friendly, and – of course – repairable. Reaching full heat in 5 seconds, with a unique heat-insulating cap and locking USB-C connectors, plus an 8-hour 100W battery, the entire unit can be carried in a pocket while you're working in challenging environments. Equally at home on a desk, car, boat, tent, or hotel room, the station fits perfectly into a custom roll-up toolkit with all the essentials.
