Had to post this one, but was not sure where- So Fabrication zone seemed like a good place.
I do and have done a '*bleep' load of soldering. Parts on & off. Tinning, SMD, discrerte, A to Z. I saw this review on Hadaday and bought one for a Vector drive board I'm fixing. I dont rave much online, but this thing had me at hello.
Review: TS100 Soldering Iron | Hackaday
UY CHAN Upgraded Original TS100 Digital OLED Programmable Pocket-size Smart Mini Outdoor Portable Soldering Iron Station Kit Embedded Interface DC5525 Acceleration Sensors STM32 Chip Fast Heat (B2) - - Amazon.com
Now... this is 3/4 of the story. For a bunch of features & enhancements there is a freeware github firmware upgrade that really helps this thing sing. (took 2mins... literally).
GitHub - Ralim/ts100: The Feature Packed Alternate Open Source firmware for the TS100 iron by miniware.
Gets super hot, super quick. long reach w/ a very narrow neck.
Anywho..... Had to share. I'll never plug in a weller again unless it's the monster size for #6 gauge or something.
Just too cool not to share.
