    Yeah, the later images being posted are definitely soldering irons. I think that TurboWafflz is asking whether maybe the thing in the original Star Trek image that OP put up is intended to be a soldering iron, which is a fair question.

    I’ve used probes with little hooks on the ends myself, but I imagine that there are pointy probes out there.

      Ah, right. I’m not in star trek scene, but what I’ve seen that might be a probe, soldering iron, welder and a plasma cutter all in one in that universe.
