A very clever soldering iron and i like the transparent case. I'm stuck in the past with my old yellow 240v Antex irons. I might change to something else when they die, but they are 30 years old and still do the job.
My home made controller does the same for my Weller soldering pencil. The handle has an i2c bus to it which provides the temperature and movement feedback. So once it stops moving I start a timer, when that times out the temperature drops to the set idle temp. A second timer starts which when it times out all heating is stopped until the handle is moved again. Works great for me and saved a faulty cable sending the pencil the wee bin.
I still consider myself a bit of a noob with soldering, but my cheap "T12-942" soldering iron has been working great- it uses that same sort of tip and has similar features, but with a bulkier package. It's wild how small they've made them with these newer/better ones. I could see having something like this to use with a usb power bank for portable use, even.
Thanks for the review. I'm not normally a naysayer, but this is *way* too expensive. You can get a Pinecil for less than half the price. This product is relatively cheap to manufacture, especially when compared with AC-powered T12 stations, yet I paid less than this for my STM32 T12 clone just a month ago, even after adding a decent iron stand! This Sequre iron should sell for $30 at most, so they should include a small tube of vaseline in the kit. The profit margin on this has to be very nice indeed as it includes no power supply of any kind. The Pinecil used to have an affordable USB-C power supply available as an inexpensive add-on, but it's no longer listed on the Pine64 store. I also no longer see the silicon USB-C cable they once offered for it :(. Too bad, as the Pinecil is the best TS100 value on the market. Yes, support for T12 tips is very nice as those are cheap and readily available in tons of tip shapes, but $72? Nope.
To much screwing around for my usage. I just want to pick it up and solder. I found that Weller soldering stations are junk. 3 of mine only lasted a year and went bad. No more of them for me.
How is this too much screwing around. Turn it on and solder away. Put it down and it goes to stand by. Pick it up and it turns back on. It has to option of long or short tips.

Thanks for the soldering testing！

My Hakko clone was almost 100.00
Agreed; just paid $37 for a Pinecil, including postage.
I still have an Antex 240vac 25w in use,
Have only ever replaced the element once in over 20yrs 🤓👍
Cool, I will check this iron out.
Wow that thing heats up quick!
It heats up even quicker with higher voltage PSU
That lead free solder rebounded on you. Throw harder next time!
Anybody that says that crappola is as good as any obviously hasn't used it...
The irony of creating all that eco friendly solder that everyone throws directly in the bin.

Look like a clone of the TS100 (i have mine with a clear case too) with some new features (USB C, 2nd type of tips compatibility, buzzer...)
I wouldn't recommend setting the brightness to high unless you need it because that will wear out the OLED panel faster.
Other similar irons have a temp boost function, I assume this does too and you just forgot to demonstrate? :)
Yes，this one have a temp boost function
Hahaha …. Soldering iron has a ‘Motion Detector’ in it. Ahhh the advent of microcontrollers and miniaturization !
Works good. Used it in the laserdisk repair.
too many components + heat - high rate of failure?
Heat doesn't get inside it.
Love soldering iron on for a whole week came back from a road trip and it was on the whole time I was gone the tip was absolutely ruined
Veratasium said that any amount of lead is bad.
Lead is great. So is mercury.
@@TD75 yes I still have 2 here. For the gas fireplace.
