    FINALLY! I can just grab my drill, some screws, some baking soda, a syringe, a D battery, and some gorilla glue to make a lighter that barely lights, and could potentially explode, instead of wasting 2 bucks on a new one!

    That's a great way to fry your usb adapter, Shorting the leads to make that soldering iron tip heat up requires a ton of current. Even on the lower power end, a soldering iron would require 20W to be dissipated. From a 5 volt usb supply that would mean 4 amps of current is required, when most usb adapters are rated between 1 and 3 amps. This is disregarding power losses throughout the length of the tip and contact resistances at the terminals.

    A far simpler and easier way to twist wires is if you have a keyless chucked drill, put both, or as many as you need, into the Chuck, tighten it down, and spin! I used that all the time doing car stereo installs. No need to drill out a piece of wood. And if you’re able to drill out the wood, then you’ve clearly already got the drill. Try it!
