Pros: Well thought out. Heats quickly. Seems to be a sturdy design. Like the Red LED that indicates that the tip is still hot after the power is OFF, its a great safety feature. Cons: Unless you already own the battery and a charger for other Milwaukee M12 items already (like me) the price of the complete set is high. The Clear LED "spotlight" for illumination seems to have been designed on the wrong side of the tip (on the top not the bottom). This is especially noticeable when you use the product in either of the 2 angled positions. Electric soldering pencils and guns always have the light located Below the tip where the light is less subject to be blocked casting a shadow on the tip where it is most needed.

Great soldering iron heats up fast and plenty of heat for soldering. The tips are easily interchangeable and is easy iron to maneuver.

It gets hot and seems to work very well. I have only used it a couple times so far but it has been a real pleasure to grab it and throw a battery in and turn it on and 30 secs later it is ready to rock and roll. I sure love these handy wireless power tools. They perform as well or better than there wired counter parts with no leash. Just another great Milwaukee product. I will have to use it more if I am going to find any complaints.

It works amazingly well. A bit heavy on the backend when the battery is in it but it's an even trade-off for not being tied to an electrical cord. Still a comfortable holding position and still farely easy to work with. Heats up quick. Takes a while to cool but it has an indicator light letting you know when it's cool enough to store away. All in all, I like it.

Well, it's hard to knock Milwaukee products but sometimes they even surpass themselves. This is one nice product and the video reviews don't do it justice. It heats up even faster than some of the reviews with my XC battery. The pinpoint accuracy with that much heat is beyond my expectations. Light weight, rather well balanced, and the swivel head makes life a lot easier at the bench. However, it can still tip rather easy with the wide base XC battery installed if the head is turned 90 degrees to the side. This sure beats waiting forever for my electric iron and having to drag a drop cord outside to do something inside a vehicle or piece of equipment.

Heats ok, a bit clumsy to use & uses standard Hakko replacement Tips. Heats up to 338deg celcius not what is stated on the packaging. Works ok for general wiring repairs but to bulky for repetitive delicate electronics but would certainty get you out of a squeeze. Led light is a good idea.Handy if you combine with the m18 heatgun for heat shrink tubing.

This battery operated soldering iron is awesome. I have a butane and electric soldering iron but my Milwaukee soldering iron has become my favorite. It heats up quickly and the pivoting head is a nice touch. I've used it several times and the battery is still good for many more use.
