http://www.miniware.com.cn/product/ts100-soldering-iron-package-electric-soldering-kit/ http://www.miniware.com.cn/product/ts100-soldering-iron-pack... An open source soldering iron, original by a Chinese company Miniware. I don't know how good their sales are, but the iron is so good it got that Louis Rossmann praised it (for the price, ofc). And it seems to be very popular (probably not nearly as much as Weller, but hey).

    Everybody says so. I'l have to get one for myself some day. With a cheap 24V scooter battery one could even use it in the field without a problem. Oh, and i seem to have underestimated Louis's recommendation. He likes it a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao39bPEyok4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao39bPEyok4 On the topic of open source for hardware; There's an open source software for Hantek oscilloscopes http://openhantek.org/ http://openhantek.org/ (not official) , which is yet another thing i'l have to get myself some day.
