    a great soldering iron but it was nearly impossible to find at the regular low price. Took 6 months !

    Bought the iron after I saw your article, no regrets. I wish this existed a year or two ago, wouldn't have gotten a hakko.

      It did exist. And the TS100 before that (which was a product made by e-design/Miniware also in China, Pinecil essentially copied their product, even same firmware)

    I just tried it. It can get hot using a phone charger. I already bought a tool-battery adapter so it can get more power.

    the ts80 usb c portable soldering iron has been my go-to one, replacing the earlier version with the micro usb port. after getting the pine sol, i wasn’t as impressed. it was in many ways much bulkier and harder to pack into a portable kit than the ts80. so the pine soldering iron has been my back up one but i end up hardly ever using it. the pine one does not fold up as neat and pack away. it’s more of a chore to carry around, even with that third party 3d printed case with the ball bearings holder. bulkier than the ts80 overall.

    • @TylrVncnt

      The TS80 (and especially the newer TS80p which can handle higher power over USB-C PD) is a great iron in an awesome form factor

    I get it, it's a short so you can't go into great detail... So you say it's nimble and efficient, compared to what? It's smaller, but it still gets to the same temps as a larger iron? It has advanced features, but you flit thru them without explaining even one as an example. You say how much you like it but....
