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.

I'm also from Germany, and I've bought a whole bunch of Pinecils earlier this year for our students. They are great and the tips are compatible with the TS100 we had earlier. Shipping and import fees are annoying though, they ship directly from China. Would do it again though.
