They have no supply left already. Must have been popular. For the money, I think it's something to keep as a spare/emergency tool. Thanks for the review, Steve.

[@tonipopa]

Steve, thank you for ever review you are making, it's really helping in making a decision for what to go and your tutorials for different hardware designs is really great, I wanted to remake your led light ring for my microscope, but sadly your website is offline and can't find the latest schematics for the design. But maybe your website will be up again. Thank you again for your help you are giving us, it might not be a lot coming for me, but I still wanted to take this opportunity and say thank you. ♥

[@sdgelectronics]

I'm in the process of updating everything, hopefully it should be ready soon. I also plan to update the microscope light based on my usage over the past few years so stay tuned.

[@FlyingShotsman]

Finally, a cheap-and-cheerful Chinese iron that I'd actually consider buying! Thanks for keeping us up to date on what's available, Steve. As always, I enjoy your reviews.

AND........Sold out

[@tonywharton5220]

Yep ✌️

[@lord_haven1114]

There’s a million of these types of things on the market, and they all work about the same.

[@adaminsanoff]

The capacitive wake-up solution seems like a clever idea, and better than using an accelerometer.

[@ianspy1]

I wonder if it would still work with nitrile gloves :D. But it really seems smart!

[@adaminsanoff]

@ If it is not 3 mm thick, it should work.

[@ianspy1]

@@adaminsanoff thx for the reply :D. This makes me wonder even more, why most still use a accelerometer...

[@electrodacus]

Seems better than the other one.

[@Roobotics]

Suggest getting a flexible USB-C silicon type rated for PD, or a right-angle type just for soldering iron usage. There are also PD rated right angle adapters, but that seems like too many connection points mechanically, maybe if you could clip a 3D print around it all to reliably secure it. The ergonomics of cable management always seem to fall a little short on these, and the cable will keep trying to pull it about.

[@swissfreek]

Came to say the same. I don’t know how people use all these with inflexible thick USB-C cables. It drives me crazy. My main iron has a connection like this and I bought some 2-wire 22ga silicone wire and tiny USB-C DIY connectors and soldered up my own wire with an XT60 so I wasn’t constantly fighting the cord.

[@tonywharton5220]

That's a really lovely soldering iron ✌️

[@antibrevity]

Wow. I really don't *need* another soldering iron, but this thing works very well for what it is. I really like this approach as while the construction is inexpensive, the tool has useful features, a nice screen, and an interface that actually seems thought out more than some. If they had taken the Miniware path this would be made of nicely machined aluminum, but cost $90. KSGER's T12 clones have become fairly expensive over the years and their quality control is not great, but I'm impressed with this thing. It *shouldn't* cost much to make a DC soldering iron as it's basically just a FET with a temperature controller. The only "downside" to this unit is that the one in the prior review had a safer, JBC-style handle whereas this one narrows to the tip with only plastic; it may give finer control, but your fingers are pretty close to the hot bit.

[@-COBRA]

add rubbery heat shrink tube on the handle and you'll get better safer grip

[@robharley9838]

Very interesting review Sir! I've always enjoyed the thorough and knowledgeable way you evaluate kits and this one is no different. Thanks! For the money, this is impressive technology. I think I'll throw away my Butane iron now.......:)

[@anandasri1330]

thanks for keep us updating ...🙂

[@S_y_r_a_x]

Хороший обзор, спасибо!

[@CM-xr9oq]

Great review. I hope you will take a look at the Atten desoldering tweezers! Or, the WEP/Yihua 982 desoldering tweezers!

[@cannesahs]

do you recalibrate when changing to a genuine jbc tip? usually chinese tips have different temperature coefficient in sensor

[@MrBobWareham]

Cant get it shipped to the UK or I would get one looks good, thanks for the video

[@zombieryder]

very impressive

[@antibrevity]

One thing I don't see mentioned about these modern irons is that inserting the tips with bare hands is super-dangerous whenever the units are powered on. If the unit turns on the tip power either intentionally or by accident because you touched a control or the logic isn't perfect, the tip is at operating temperature within 2 seconds.

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

That’s like saying the stove is dangerous to touch with bare hands, which is basically saying nothing.

[@lord_haven1114]

There are official and aftermarket cradles that have tip holders and removers. But honestly if you’re that worried about it silicone exists. Just cut a piece off and use that to pull them off and put them in. Or gloves, or unplug the whole thing. This wouldn’t be the iron you would use for high volume anyway, so you’ll have time to do whatever you feel is best for you to not burn yourself.

[@TylrVncnt]

Would you prefer this model or the Sequre S60p? Both are c210 compatible

[@-COBRA]

very good for that price. buy it with bigger tip, throw it with some flux and tin to your car glove box and you have emergency soldering kit with you.

[@NullBrain-zb1mx]

Please review Pinecil v2 with DC Power supply through DC Barrel connector not flawed USB C or Quick Charger. Because mine purchased one work very good with cheap DC Power supply and running smoothly. My suspicion is USB C is not delivering its full power properly

[@eggmangoogle3146]

Nice vid, as always. If you are looking for more USB powered 210 compatibles, Aifen has the A11... One thing I don't like about all irons I've seen of this type is that none of them do anything to prevent you from inadvertently moving your fingers too far forward. The number of burns I've gotten from my S99 is too damned high!

[@-COBRA]

why you just don't add some stopper at the end?

[@jaro6985]

The original ksger aluminum iron had a normal T210 rubber handle, way better than this one.

[@datawolk]

Since you also reviewed a lot of car related stuff, what do you think of the Ancel BM200? Maybe a interesting video?😉

[@DustinWill]

Love it!

[@phuang3]

There are just too many similar products in China, and that is crazy!

[@deterdamel7380]

I guess IronOS can be ported to that nice device.

[@dekus80]

For what? It can hold temperature? Yes. You can change temperature? Yes. It is all what needed from iron for soldering. what happens to people. this is a soldering iron.

[@deterdamel7380]

​@@dekus80 For fun. For minor improvements- presets, boost etc for example. But you're right it's pretty complete and actual there's no MCS51-port. For my KSGER T12 (STM32), for example the alternative firmware is a major upgrade.

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

IronOS sucks, it’s clunky UI made me switched back to stock in seconds on my ts101. And their lack of update in almost a year is just a good indication it’s abandoned and anyone will be far better off with official support

[@ats89117]

A lot of people use gloves while soldering. It would be nice to see if the sensor still works...

[@CM-xr9oq]

A lot of people waste many gloves. Wear a glove on your solder-holding hand if you must. Leave the iron-holding hand ungloved.

[@eldhosep394]

Can you please make a video about mechanic 857DW plus SMD . And also the comparison between quick 857dw plus and mechanic 857dw plus

[@CM-xr9oq]

They're the same machine....just rebranded.

[@Boz1211111]

I like this so much but dont need c210 handle at all hah. if it was c245 would probably buy it instead of t12s

[@davadoff]

13:54 You possibly need to re-calibrate when changing to JBC tips because they are likely different materials and construction. I guess you checked the tip temperature off camera. Can you say in the video one way or the other please? so know it wasn’t an oversight.

[@AKG58Z]

Now it costs 28buxks.

[@-COBRA]

prices on Ali i see start at 26€

[@TYGAMatt]

The capacitive touch is brilliant. That's the only thing about my FNIRSI HS-01 that annoys me. Jog the desk and on it comes.

[@DavidKacz-b8q]

Really getting soldering video fatigue. Please cover some other topics. Your presentations used to feature interesting projects and sound engineering practices. Now they are just product reviews, like hundreds of others on YT. Don't get me wrong though; they are well done and way above average reviews, but still fall in the noise of so many on the tube.

[@sdgelectronics]

@@DavidKacz-b8q don't worry I have some new topics and projects, they just take longer to prepare

[@zombunzedb960]

thank you for the pcbway spam now i know what to avoid like the plague

[@lord_haven1114]

What’s wrong with pcbway? They’re pretty great as far as I’ve used them. As far as sponsors for videos go, in engineering and electronics videos, pcbway is at least a good quality place
