You might be right--more about biking and bands and stuff.</p>

<p>little tip for naming stuff if you&#39;re bad at it: go for a walk outside into nature, and find a flower you feel is beautiful. look up what&#39;s called. you&#39;re done baby. u can also do this with animals or trains.</p>

<p>additional con:<br /> - really bad name. i would&#39;ve called it something else.</p>

<p>&#39;solder ninja pen&#39; on crowd supply</p><p>pros:<br /> - the weller tip system looks really good, i bet performance is wonderful<br /> - i really like the alu body construction<br /> - the strain relieved cable would be great i would probably go through less cables<br /> - i like open source hardware it&#39;s good vibe</p><p>cons:<br /> - not sure i&#39;m in a position to drop that much on a soldering iron at this stage of my life</p><p>much to consider.</p>

I&#39;ve certainly learned a bunch by browsing folks&#39; schematics and board layouts.</p>
