This is a battery adpater for a 20V Crafstman Battery Lithium Ion pack and Soldering station. Desigend to power the MiniWare TS100, Pinecil and other compatible 12v to 24v DC soldering irons. The station provides a spool holder on the left for solder. The pin in the back is good storage for a small spool of wire or in my case a roll of soldering whick. The station stand tall enough to accomidate a 6AH battery. Unlike other 3D printed battery adapters for Crasftman batteries, this one actually locks onto the battery.  You will need the following items to complete this build Aven 17530 Soldering stand. You will be using the iron holders, brass cup and brass whool from this stand to complete the solldering station.  2.5x5mm Female DC Jack 2.5x5mm Male to male cable SPST Toggle Switch 2 strips of metal 24mmx17mm.
