Our take on the iFixit FixHub Smart Soldering Iron

The iFixit FixHub Smart Soldering Iron is a cordless, battery-powered iron that heats to 420°C and draws up to 100 W. It stands out for its smart features: a web interface for setting temperature, fall protection, auto standby, and automatic cool-down when set down. It is repairable and takes interchangeable tips, with a bevel 1.5 tip included. At $79.95 at eBay as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range, well under its typical list price.

Questions and answers

Is the FixHub worth it over a cheap corded iron?
If you solder away from outlets or want safety features like auto cool-down, yes. For long bench sessions, a corded iron with higher sustained heat costs less.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime depends on temperature and tip; expect well under an hour of continuous use at high heat. It is best for short repair jobs, not all-day production work.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
It ships as the iron with a bevel 1.5 tip and safety cap. Check the listing for whether a battery and USB-C cable are included, since bundle contents vary.
Can I use other tips?
Yes, the tips are interchangeable. iFixit sells additional tip styles, so you can swap to a finer or larger tip for different joints.
What devices can control it?
Any device with a web browser can reach its web interface over Wi-Fi to set temperature and firmware. No app install is required.
When is it cheapest?
Prices vary by store; the $79.95 eBay price as of November 3, 2026 is near the low end of its recent range. Watch for sales around repair-focused events and holidays.
