A very successful first launch caused the FixHub Power Series portable soldering line from iFixit to go out of stock for a while. Now, it is fully back in stock and ready for immediate shipping across the United States. There’s no longer a need to wait for a reservation or preorder.
The FixHub line was designed to be small, tough, and ready to use in all kinds of places. It has become very popular in the repair community. The reason this took so long to restock was because iFixit had to work hard to fill all the preorders that piled up during the initial launch, when thousands of dedicated repair enthusiasts rushed to reserve their tools.
Now, the company is happy to confirm that not only is the FixHub back in stock, but it has also gotten several key upgrades based on feedback from early users. One major upgrade is a new Android app that gives you detailed control over the FixHub Soldering Iron. With this app, you can adjust temperature settings, set timeouts, and fine-tune other settings, giving you more customization than ever before.
Along with the app, improved firmware has been added, making USB-C charging work better and expanding the device’s compatibility with more power sources, all based on user suggestions. Together, these updates make the Smart Soldering Iron, Portable Soldering Station, and Portable Soldering Toolkit more convenient than ever and great for everything from quick field repairs to big hobby projects and professional on-the-go fixes.
The Portable Soldering Toolkit is the most complete option in the FixHub series, giving users everything they need to start working as soon as they open the box. At the heart of the toolkit is a strong USB-C soldering iron, built for precise temperature control and able to reach the perfect soldering temperature in less than five seconds.

iFixit FixHub Portable Soldering Station Review: More Accessible Than Ever
The quality you know and love from iFixit has entered the soldering game.
A big improvement with this restock is the addition of new swappable tips, making sure the FixHub can handle almost any soldering job, from tiny microsoldering to heavy-duty desoldering. Along with the iron, there’s a flexible modular tool roll that stores the tools and also opens up to create a portable workspace, complete with a heat-resistant mat to protect any table or desk while soldering.
The toolkit also includes a carefully chosen set of soldering accessories, tested for real-world use. This includes important supplies like lead-free solder and flux, as well as handy tools like a stand and a brass wire sponge.
I don’t doubt that the demand for the restock will be almost as high as the initial sell-out. If you want this toolset, you should buy it for $299.95 on the website as soon as possible. Otherwise, you’re likely going to have to wait for another restock. However, if each restock keeps coming with upgrades like this one, it may mean even more features if you wait a little longer.
