Ugreen good for misc cables?

@billsikes ugreen makes good cables yes

Are there any decent cordless soldering irons for occasional oddball stuff? Don't want the gas route. Just gonna fix my lighting and solder to the LED strips instead of lineman splice onto oddly mismatched size wires.

TS100 and tape some 18650's to it?

No lidl around PNW USA

i use a T12 clone with a QC3.0 power bank

you can get t12 clones that are integrated in to the handle

or like this and make a case: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/QUICKO-Temperature-adjust-T12-STC-OLED-Controller-Digital-Soldering-Iron-Station-welding-Display-panel-Apply-to/32845526592.html

get the blue handle one, it allows you to hold the iron closer to the tip

you can buy them in a case prebuilt

you need to supply 12-24v

the ts100 is expensive if you just want occasional use

that will give you 12v from a QC3.0 power bank

the irons can do low voltage cutoff, so you can juse use a bare lipo

Anything that can just do a couple 18650#?

only with 2 much effort

I don't have a QC 3.0 power bank, so I'd need to get that too

Might just be better off with the Milwaukee for $75

cheapo usb iron?

yeah, use one of the cheapo usb irons

8w

Think I can solder 14AWG with it?

ehh

no

the tips wear out really quickly

you may be able to do it with a brand new tip

you can get irons that run from 4xAA, you could run that from a couple of lipos I guess

actually 14awg is probably possible

get one and try tbh

they're like 5-10$

these things are OK for very occasional or light use. I've gone through 3 or 4 tips because they just don't last long
