> Hot tweezers is a fun idea we've been talking about. How would you like to see it implemented?

I suppose probably as a separate USB-C soldering iron. I was initially thinking of them as an attachment to the existing iron that would add an extra grip section, but now that I'm thinking about it a bit more that might be a bit too unwieldy. (And it would be helpful for hot tweezers to also have swappable tips for working with different components.)

Thank you! I wish more companies would be this open about their products' interfaces.
