Re: Battery powered soldering iron

OK please consider I'm 73 and dislike any computer smaller then an HP netbook, and that includes my never to be damned enough Moto e6 'smart phone.'

?

The specs mention a CPU, so does this iron have an "OS"?

?

Can you simply connect it to an appropriate power supply and start soldering?

?

Is it durable? I've been accused of being able to break and anvil as a child, while not quite as destructive, I'm not interested in anything as delicate as fine china (That's my wife's department. Though she will trust me to drink hot chocolate from a 17th century mug...on occasion.)

?

Can you solder something like a PL/SO 259 "UHF" connector?

?

I am really tempted, the price is reasonable, the power requirements practical and it avoids the risks inherent with an open flame.

?

Oh, can you crash the OS? I ask because my wife has killed everything from windup watches to laptops simply by touching or holding them.

?

And no I don't believe some people have odd magnetic fields or whatever because I can measure almost everything and tests show she is a normal person...who just kills even primitive tech. I often wondered how on earth she can drive a car with 5 CPUs, but it gave me a headache so I gave up wondering and wrote it off as one of those mysteries of life. After all, she does love and put up with me and has for 46 years.

I am dangerously attracted to this soldering iron, I'm going to bed so I won't place an order tonight.

?

Tomorrow is another day, unless of course the severe weather blows us to Oz. We are under severe thunderstorm warning, a tornado watch and probably "look out for meteors."

?

I've got the weather radio by the bed with a 2M HT just in case. It looks really nasty on weather radar 250 miles to our west.
