FNIRSI HS-01 Smart Soldering Iron⭐ Complete Review!

[@genjitsu7448]

I like the lock design for holding the tips in place. That and the cap that covers the tip is awesome, helps to provide confidence that you can quickly pack up your iron when needing to put it inside a backpack, etc... This is simply just a solid design and nice choice for this part of the hobby which is getting more and more crowded every day... Pinecil, TS100 Sequre, HGLRC (just a Sequre that is rebranded), and more I am sure. I like this one for the reasons above plus the silicone bumper at the front of the iron and the universality of the tips, the same ones for all the irons listed above. Lots of options nowadays, nice to see. Plus they are generally durable enough... And a quick note: I had a Pinecil that toasted itself within 5 minutes of its first use, and it was NOT covered by the warranty which was a measly 30 days... that plus reading the message boards said that the irons had a known problem, one of the components was weak or bad choice or whatever it was the bottom line is that they knew about it and did nothing to help me. So, lesson learned. By the way, my warranty claim was happening about 37 days after purchase, so... yea they could have done much better. 30 day warranty, worthless. And all i had to do was plug it in at an earlier date and it would have toasted itself... I simply did not get around to using it for a few weeks after I got it. By the way, my Sequre Si012 has been running for a couple years now and I even went ahead and bought the upgraded version - the Si012 Pro Max - worth it! Cheers

Hi, thank you so much for watching and your comment, really appreciate it. I bought thousands of euros/dollars on AliExpress and usually it is solved, but the tip I want ot share with you is to, ALWAYS pay with paypal. Paypal itself is free for the buyer, so no costs for you. But the thing is, you will benefict the buyer protection for 180 days. It's no that much, but it will be 6x times what pinecil gives... and if you have a problem, you can always open a case. They work pretty well. Again, thanks for sharing.

I love the fact it comes with a cap!

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi Nick, it is a cool desing in that way, you can put the cap while it is hot and will protect it from burning something... even myself 😁 thanks for watching!

[@james10739]

I like the cap for on the go and just setting it down right away

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi, I thought it was a good detail also. The tip cools very quicky, but even so, it is a nice detail. Thanks for watching!

[@alberto7829]

Honestly? Its a great soldering iron, i've been using it everyday for almost two years, no big problems. I'm using it with a cheap 65w usbc charger with a long and thin cord that was made for notebooks, it helps alot with the handling. The only problem i've found is that sometimes the tips are not recognized by the iron and i have to remove it and insert it again. But overall is a great purchase.

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi, I had that problem with other soldering irons also and I agree with you, is a great soldering iron for the price. Thanks for watching.

[@khuongathebounga4141]

Thanks for the review Hugo. Another great video with lots of information and details. I think the soldering iron coming with the burn proof silicone usb cable was a great addition.

[@TechCornerTV]

Hey there bud, thanks for your continuos support! FNIRSI is going for a very nice road, killer design (some devices), improving quality, manuals and overall experience. Thanks for watching!

[@TheElectroHawk]

Just found this video, thinking about if I should buy the HS-01, the Pinecil v2 or the TS101.

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi! I have a review of TS101 also, it's more complete and with the last update also goes to PD 96W I believe, but is more expensive and if you don't need such a robust tools, this one is also fine. My work here is to show what it does and let you guys decide! Either way, you can always support the channel if you choose to buy with the affiliate links 😁 thanks for watching!

[@NicksStuff]

What iron does melt the solder in 2 seconds?

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi Nick, my Aixun T3S soldering station does that, is so amazing. I have a video also on that one. Thanks for watching.

[@julioalejandrogonzalezsiga123]

Hello Hugo, is there any updates about the Hantek DS02D10? Im pretty interested on buying one, but I dont want to buy a headache. Does the latest firmware correct the Issues? (Specially the bad readings on low voltages). Please letme know ASAP. Regards!

[@TechCornerTV]

Hey Julio, sorry not yet, it is on my todo list, but I have to give priority to the manufacturers that send devices for review free of charge and I still have here four to review and those videos are getting posponed... sorry! I have a job and do this at night and weekends, is not easy! If I could sustent myself from the channel it will be different, but barelly pays the expenses (most of the time don't) so I do this because I like and I have to manage it all in the free time, but I will try to schedulle it for the following weeks. Thanks so much for being here and for this comment!

[@grerlab2777]

I am thinking about buying a new soldering iron... Useful and interesting presentation... 🤔🤔🤔 Thanks for the video... ✌

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi, my pleasure! Hope it helped, if you decide to buy don't forget to use the affiliate link 😁 thanks for watching!

[@gustavofelisberto4259]

If you forget it connected does it go completely off or goes to 200 degress?

[@TechCornerTV]

Hello, not completelly off but enters the standby state. Thanks for watching.

[@wszystkoinic3246]

Works with t12 soldering tip?

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi, never tested but they say they are "proprietary". But I think it will work, it seems the same tips that are used on other similiar devices. Thanks for watching.

[@mrpetit2]

So are these soldering tips following any kind of standard? They look like Hakko tips, only way shorter, so not compatible. And I think that is important. I mean, I don't expect fnirsi to make this product in 5 or 10 years anymore, so probably no tips by then. The TS-100 of course also has this problem, but there are so many TS-100's made and around (and there is a 2nd version now), that it almost looks like it has become it's own standard, because also the pinecil uses these tips, and there are I think 3rd party manufacturers too. And in the end that is what partly defines a good tool. How long is it supported. I mean, you can still get tips for a 50 year old Weller. (hakko, weller, pace, jcb.. they've been around for ages) But with the oled display, how long is this tool gonna last. It's a frequent repair on the TS-100s 😉

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi, I don't have a T12 soldering station (yet) to compare, so I'm not familias with the T12 tips. What I can say is that the TS100/TS101 will not fit in this soldering iron. I have also here to test the GDVA and I think that it uses similiar tips, let's see if they're also compatible with this one or the TS100/TS101. Thanks for watching!

[@franzhopfinger5913]

Seems the soldering tips are similar to hakko.

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi Franz, thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@fauzanmcs8322]

hi, are this soldering iron compatible with hakko t12 tip?

[@TechCornerTV]

Hello, yes, I think it is. Thanks for watching.

[@ognjen5230]

This soldering iron does not work if a USB A to USB C cable is used, no matter which charger is used. It only works on a USB C to USB C cable. For me, that's a big minus.

[@TechCornerTV]

Hi, after reading your comment I went to see if it was true, the problem I had was finding a 65W USB-A to USB-C cable here at home, I don't have any, so can't confirm. With my normal cables, it says that has low power, but again, it needs a better cable... maybe you're right. Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@ognjen5230]

@@TechCornerTV Try connecting the FNB58 via USB C cable and then the soldering iron to USB A. It should have the same result as connecting to different chargers, i.e. USB outputs.

[@gustavofelisberto4259]

According to spec a USB-A of type 3.1 has max power output of 15 watts. So not enough for this device.

[@ognjen5230]

@@gustavofelisberto4259 Fnirsi states that a minimum of 13.5W is required for the operation of the soldering iron. I have a quick charge 3.0 18W USB A charger (5V/9V12V), to which I connect the FNB58, turn on the trigger 12V/1.5A or 9V/2A and then the soldering iron works via the USB A port. If I plug the soldering iron directly into the USB A port, it gives me a low voltage warning. The problem is not that it doesn't work on the USB A port, but that the manufacturer didn't say that it only works with USB C to USB C.
