Richard from 'Learn Electronics Repair' also did a review on this tool a month or so ago. Uses C210 as standard, or can also use C120 tips according to their website, various style tips are readily available and generic ones are super cheap and work just fine. You can power it with a DC supply via the 5525 DC jack up to 28V - 5A/140W - it has adjustable settings to suit the max voltage/max output of the power supply you want to use, so it doesn't try to draw too many Amps and overload your supply. I bought one during the black Friday sales, very nice tool, I love it👍
@@simonilett998 the current limit on mine skips right from 3A to 5A, not able to select 3.5 or 4A (unless I am doing something wrong.). I also have trouble with booting up when set to PD 28V and a PD 3.1 28V source. Sequre has been very responsive to my emails about it and I assume there will be a fix soon.
@pault6533 Cheers for the info. Yes, I believe mine does the same, jumps from 3A to 5A, but from memory that is normal according to the op. manual. I haven't tried a PD power supply, I've only tried it with the 65W supply that came with it, as well as the 24V 3A supply that came with my TS101, appears to work well with both supplies.
The UI and power connectors are pretty much identical to the Pinecil iron (and I think to TS100). I've wondered about getting a second pinecil and 3d-printing a housing to hold two irons and a spring. TS100 tips are compatible and very readily available, so I assume I could find ones with a bit of an angle that'd work well as tweezers tips.
@@IMSAIGuy Hot air stations do have an adjustment for the air quantity / force, but I get it, mine's permanently at '11' too... only after I blow away a bunch of parts do I go "oh yeah, I should probably turn the air down"
With thick boards I've sometimes needed to still use a bit of hot air, but it's also better because it doesn't stress the component anywhere near as much.
Picked up a pair and like the device but they have an issue-the one tip gets way hotter than the other no temperature regulation and the tip actually started to glow red-well turned off the tip getting too hot and it can be controlled and when I turned off the working tip the tip that got way too hot got even hotter and actually glowed bright red and started to melt-I got in touch with them and they told me to try two things and said they had a fault and are very cool and are sending a replacement set no charge-very nice to deal with even 16000 mile away-decent company.
The DC5525 coaxial input allows you to use a laptop brick or lithium ion 2s-6s cell pack for power. I have tried both and it works well. (+) tip polarity.
I got one after watching Dave's review as well. I've wanted hot tweezers for years but couldn't afford the nice ones from JBC. Glad I finally got a cheap one, and the fact that it takes the jbc c210 tips is a big bonus.
I remember my first day on the job doing rework. I had a stack of boards that each needed about 20 SMD resistors swapped with the correct values. In training class we had used hot tweezers, but the station I was at didn't have any. I stumbled through trying to use desoldeing wick and was on my third resistor when the supervisor came by asking if I was done yet. Then I got to practice (learn) two handed soldering, with one iron in each hand. It went a lot quicker.
If you're not trying to save the components, just add solder to one end of sm resistors and heat until the whole thing is hot enough it pops off. With 0805 or smaller, it only takes a few seconds for the whole part to heat up. Usually the surface tension of the extra solder is enough to lift the resistor off the board stuck to the tip of the iron as well.
@@AttilaAsztalos I've never handled soldering irons chopstick style but I did use the technique for scope probes recently when having to probe an LVDS interface in a hurry. I needed one hand for getting the scope to trigger, so that left only one spare hand for probing. Who knew chopstick skills would be useful outside of eating?
They are about the fist I've seen that come close to the Weller tweezers that i love to use. they also cost a little bit more that the replacement Weller tips. Looks like i might have to ask for a pair to review as well 🙂
Bought a set based on your review (were you using them in the BGA amp the other day?) plus the two wider sets of tips. Trying to remove SOT23-6 packages and similar with hot air often seems to partially de-laminate the PCBs for me, this looks so much easier!
I just received these and am really happy, also worth pointing out the wider tips are also worth buying. The widest ones effortlessly remove SOIC-8s from boards, which make them really useful, though changing the tips are a little fiddly.
If you could switch one arm cold could you use it one handed to install surface mount packages? The cold arm to position the package and pin it down. The hot to apply the heat and flow the solder.
That sounds like a great idea when putting down small two contact SMD devices like resistors, caps and inductors. I bet you could make a time on the lathe that would work.
Now if it had the option of a single 18650 cell with charger in the stand, it would be perfect. 3D printed battery holder and a 6x boost converter to get to the 140W level ???

My first thought was "just use hot air and regular tweezers", but after seeing it in action, that is so much faster!
and you don't accidentally loosen parts near by and blow them off the board (ask me how I know)

Looks like a fun tool to use. Hope the pivot is well made, so the tweezers won't skew.

I believe the title should say "SEQURE HT140 Hot Tweezers"
I fixed it

Presumably the second year of the same course you learn how to dual-wield two irons single-handedly, chopstick-style...?

Nothing like a pair of HO Tweezers or Hot Weezers.

Replacement of a dead battery seems like a good option extending life of the tool

@rogerp5816 Not all geeks have two hands so I wondered.
Yes, you can change the settings to heat on only one side, or heat on both👍
I don't see the link where I can get one of these.
Oh sweet, i don't need the tweezers but i do need a new iron. Walmart special is finally getting old.
they have that too ua-cam.com/video/DXVj91wmEAM/v-deo.html
@IMSAIGuy that's the exact one i bought lol. I'm a sucker for unnecessary RBG lighting 😁
no FNIRSI has looked this skookum before :D

Misleading title? 😄 or just the prediction of a future FNIRSI version of this?
sorry I fixed it
@@IMSAIGuy oh no worries, it was just a bit funny...
Down below??
Cool tool being new to electronics
Can the unit be opened to replace the battery once it fails, WO, destroying the case?????????????
there is no battery. USB powered
Happy Thanksgiving Merry Christmas and happy New Years
You just sold five of these.
Looks nice but too expensive for me. I can't justify the $100+ price tag with the minimal amount of SMD rework I do
