I think it’d be way more precise to have a soldering iron where the tip is close to your fingertips, just like a pen.
In: Technology
The iron tips get to 600-800 degrees F. If you had a shorter tip the heating elements would be much closer to the handle and at those temperatures it’d be really hard to isolate the heat from the user’s hand even with the handle in the way. All of the handle materials would need to be much more temperature resistant and durable.
Or you just extend the tip so all of the heat is away from the hand. Cheaper and easier.
