Is this the first cordless soldering that is actually worth buying?

3:17 I find that the design could have been improved with the inclusion with some sort of heat resistant silicone.

what an exceptionalreview! Subscribing now :)
Hmm $200 AUD, can get really good options for that price point. This is pretty useful for people like me that need quick and simple soldering jobs on hobby/consum level parts with some frequency of use. This would beat plugging my ts80 into a usb port but… i don’t know if being able to forego that simple effort is worth $200
Miniware makes fantastic electronica, with great customer service, i have the TS100, and it broke after a year, so had no warranty, but was not a problem for Miniware, they asked for the invoice, and they send me a new one, and got it within a week, all the way from China to EU. Yeah would recommend everyone Miniware electronics if you solder and do more.
These Chinese constantly send me nuts instead of ordering, or I simply don’t receive anything, they refuse to return the money 100%, I always have to decide through the bank. I really love the TS-100, it's a great soldering iron, but I stopped using it many years ago. My new soldering iron today is smaller, faster and more convenient. And they invent this huge bandura, instead of just making the grounding work properly. I don't even have a ground connection in my modern MacBook. And the sting on the audio jack is completely idiotic. I bought tweezers Miniware, but the audio connector there has been so worn out over the past year that it practically doesn’t work anymore, it’s simply inconvenient and such a connector cannot be made reliable. I bought a table Miniware, but for three years I haven’t even turned it on, the controls are very inconvenient, I only use it as a stand for soldering, it’s very convenient for this.
@@denisgluk431 OK, i have had problems with other chinees electronica if they broke, but absolutely not with Miniware, they send me new TS100, after it had no warranty anymore, that i call good customer support, but with Pine64 PINECIL - Smart Mini Portable Soldering Iron, it broke after only 3 months, and Pine64 said, sorry you do not have warranty longer then 1 month, so i will never buy anything anymore from that company, they have really bad customer support.
I'm most looking forward to when they come up with a pocket hair dryer
I really like the tip design of the TS80 line... I just wish they were more ubiquitous so they cost a bit less. I'll probably get one of the TS100/101's soon just due to them overall being cheaper.
That's a brilliant idea
Hi, who retails the iron and what is the NZD value enjoying your content.
1:47 Correction: 3 mounting-points (one to the front and the two on either side). Nice video by the way.
What CPU does the iron use? What CPU does station use?
My version of this is a pinecil with a powerbank, very useful when soldering in the field.
Thanks for the 'tip'. Why in Gods name have I never heard of this soldering iron? I think one of my plastic cards is about to take a hit. :)
@@mqblowe fortunately it's a small hit, it is really cheap compared to the competition of portable soldering irons and its pretty decent.
Thank you for pointing this product out. Sold!
I've been using my pinecil for soldering in the field for over a year. Best buy ever.
Seems like it would work well for ESD sensitive projects.
Grounding even better for this
Thanks my friend from down-under (and then a bit of a flight over towards the middle of the Pacific). Too bad they didn't send you the right power adapter 🤜🤛
The aliexpress link doesn't work.
Well that's neat
Can you bring it with you and use it away from the station? I understand you'd have only a few minutes of run time but sometimes that's all you need
I wonder if using a small RC LiPo would have been a better option: they got these really tiny gumstick batteries these days that I've seen on my whoop quad peak at 50A! That is for a 380mAH 1 cell battery!
It would wear out quickly with the expected high charge/discharge cycle count.
I was thinking the same thing because I an running a ts100 with 1500mah in the handle and it lasts maybe 40-60 minutes, just that it probably charges slower than this one and will wear out eventually
@@DepressedCookie Honestly I think that high rates of change in charge over time (or current, literally the definition of current) has negative impact on cell life. Regardless of the direction. So you could charge the cell at 50A as well as discharge it, but that's twice as hard on the cell as just discharging it that fast.
Pretty cool... but I'd never give up having a fume extraction tube near my iron tip. I wish Miniware could make such a thing portable and graceful... which is the opposite of what my Aoyue is.
Awsome just purchased one :D
Why the "long" (5 mins) charge time if they're using a supercap? Shouldn't it be like 5 seconds?
it's a very big supercap.
Nice product
The problem is that how can you compare "this" with a TS80 with a powerbank attached? It cost less, it weight less and it last much much longer. Sometimes, just don't do it and instead of this crap, design a battery bank.
Hey mate, great channel! I also run a tech youtube channel from Auckland!
Just love your Kiwi accent!
you are doing well
A simply ......WOW....
it is by putting this soldering iron to the test of continuous and intense use that will judge its effectiveness
Looks like they went bankrupt? The homepage does not open.
No, what you know as miniware is one of three brands, developed by a company called e-design.
If a website doesn't work, does it mean a company is bankrupt?
That's damn slow charging for something using a supercap, i'd expect 30 seconds charging or else it isn't worth compared to a ts100 and a power bank.
lol. Good luck finding a power supply capable of supplying that current!
Where can I buy this in the US? I don’t see it on Amazon. It was a great review. You certainly convinced me!
Options are always good but this is really a niche product. A cordless solder that isn't portable stuck with it's base.
Really expensive.
hi
