With its unique pivoting head, this iron allows you to adapt to your environment, providing superior ergonomics in the tightest enclosures.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

• Rapid 18-Second Heat-Up: Reach soldering temperature in record time, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity on the job.
• 3-Stop Pivoting Head: Locks at 0°, 45°, and 90° to provide unmatched access in confined spaces where a traditional straight iron cannot reach.
• Tool-Free Tip Changes: Easily switch between the included pointed and chisel tips without the need for additional tools, allowing you to transition between tasks seamlessly.
• Temperature Monitoring (REDLINK™): Integrated electronics maintain constant tip temperature during high-demand applications, ensuring a strong, reliable bond every time.
• LED Status Indicator: Features a dual-color LED that flashes green while heating, stays solid green when ready to solder, and turns red when the tool is off, but the tip is still hot to the touch.
• Integrated LED Work Light: Illuminates the soldering point, providing maximum visibility in dark electrical boxes or under vehicle dashboards.

Precision Meets Portability

The 2488-20 is designed to stand upright on its M12™ battery, keeping the hot tip safely off your work surface. Its slim, ergonomic handle mimics the feel of a precision pencil iron, providing the control needed for fine-gauge wire without the bulk of traditional cordless units. For the technician on the move, this tool offers the "plugged-in" performance of a 90-watt station with the absolute freedom of the M12™ platform.
