USB Powered Portable Soldering Iron Pen 8W

Lovely just what I wanted on my travels on hand when repairing equipment . 10 out of 10

Extremely useful, tap on desktop lightly to re start. Gets up to temp fast and works just long enough to do one or two connections or tap again to continue. Very pleased.

Plugged it in to charge 1st time, the red light came on as explained in the instructions but started to melt the plastic cover, according to the manufacturer, the unit doesn't work when on charge?? Now can't get the plastic cover off as the soldering point has fused to it so when I unscrew it, the nib stays in the plastic cover. I should have known...you pay a little, you get garbage.
