      A traditional soldering iron in my nation costs about PHP 450 (about USD 7.95). The portability, accelerometer, temp control, easy repair and the ability to solder while charging a phone are 👍, but USD 250 is so high.

        A pinecil is 25$ and a 40kmah battery pack is 35$, so the combination… 60-70 bucks.
