Recommendation for cordless soldering iron? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for a good, reasonably priced cordless soldering iron as a gift.

Budget is around €50 - 150. It will mainly be used for hobby electronics, PCB soldering, and occasional small repairs.

Any recommendations? What specs should I look for? Any brands or models I should consider / avoid?

I'm based in Germany.

EDIT: Thanks for pointing out cordless is not the way to go. I sincerely hoped those would be useful nowadays.

I will go the cord way, powered by USB-C instead. Any tips for these devices are welcomed.

EDIT II: Thanks everybody. I decided to pick the Pinecil v2.

fnirsi is ok.

I got the hs-01, its fine for the price. A selection of tips can be handy depending on application. Cut-off circle or chisel are usually what gets used most. sharp point ones are rarely useful.

It is not "cordless" though, you/they also need a 100W rated usb-c power delivery battery for it to become "portable".
You should be able to get a decent usb power bank and stay in budget. ugreen or anker something. Or perhaps they have one already.
