Although I already own a Milwaukee M12 solder iron, I ran across this on the big auction site and couldn't find much info. (Yihua 937D cordless solder station)

I also own a 110V bench top solder station from this same Yihua brand (937D) and have used it for 1/24 slot cars and various repairs for 5+ years no problem.
I have all the spare tips, spare iron, etc already.

Now, this cordless rig is clearly pictured using a "milwaukee style" battery; I have no clue what "milwaukee style" brand this compares with.
My day job has me working on automation on the shop floor, so having something portable and oriented towards precision is a reason to justify it.
I know people convert HFT cordless tools to accept the big brand battery, I'm sure resistance heating (solder iron) isn't rocket science.
For $35-40 cost region, I figured I'd inquire if anyone has tried one for their pit rig.

This is just a screen grab. I found it searching Yihua 937D on ebay.

I posted too soon, it looks like Amazon offers a very similar unit.

You can't beat the name. I want to get this just to have a quicko on my bench.

I use a Deackimei [chinese knockoff amazon special] station that uses Milwaukee batteries and t12 tips and it works quite well. You need a t12-c4 or t12-d4 tip for heavier cables. Iron gets hot faster than any of my other irons. Like 20 secs and you're at 800f.

Dewei = Dewalt?
Miwoqi = Milwaukee?

I can't guess at Mutian though...

Haha That sure is an interesting naming convention they have going on.

I ordered the Quicko version today and thanks for weighing in on actual use/opinions on yours RogueIV.
Looking forward to adding this to the tool lineup.

I have a pair of "Khombu" winter boots that are a Made in China ripoff of Canadian brand quality boots, Kombi. It is to laugh.
