The dial makes setting the temperature easy, even if there isn't a display. You just rotate it to pick between six different temperature levels, keeping it very simple. The handle, as our review explains, is pretty large, though, so smaller hands might prefer a different model.
There's an aluminum stand that you can use between sessions, and the iron will shut down automatically if it's left for a few minutes, just to protect the tip and the battery.

You'll need to use C210 soldering tips with the Fanttik T1 Max, and several tips are included in the base of the stand for precision and larger soldering jobs. You also get a spot for a damp sponge in the stand to help you clean leftover solder from the iron's tip.
If you're learning to solder, or you're only soldering smaller projects, then the Fanttik T1 Max would be a good option. Because it's wireless and has few controls, it's safer to use, and the lack of a trailing wire (unless you want to use it plugged in) means you don't have to worry about accidentally damaging it.
The $52.99 sale price on this Fanttik T1 Max soldering iron means you're saving 34% compared to its usual cost. With the Prime deals ending soon, however, it's set to go up in price pretty quickly. If you're a hobbyist looking for a bargain, pick up this deal while you can.
