Wow, what's your feedback on this? Looks really good
i've been seriously considering one of these for ages just to keep in the ute for 'just in case' scenarios.
also cheap enough to buy 2-3, some reviews I read a while back said QC is not so strict.I've been using the Blue Grip V1 (Now on V2 with the Green Grip, which has a shorter tip and support higher W) for a few months now and it's great. Can power via USB-C Port and by Power Bank.
Takes some time to figure out the UI, but once you understand it; it pretty straight forward.
PS: the Pinecil usually run out of stock very fast, so I would recommend picking one up (along with accessories). Can also split delivery cost with family/friends (flat rate delivery).
There aren't many tips for the Pinecil V2 with the shorter length and lower resistance. AFAIK just the one tip for now.
Highly recommend their PinePower Desktop if it's in stock…
What would this be used for? Looking to try my hand at some keyboard soldering, wondering if this is more for small jobs rather than an extended project.
*cordless
*powered by gas, so ready to go anytime as long as you have a gas sourceif you're doing extended work you're obviously better off with a traditional corded unit.
if you want a nice industry standard brand but affordable, you can look at Hakko FX-888D , which I see is as low as about $175
But I would say you can easily get a good 10 years + out of it (other than consumables like tips/solder etc)I have also used crappy no name ebay ones, that plug straight to mains for an emergency job, and it worked fine too.
no interchangeable tips on that one though, so depends how fine you are going soldering wise.also make sure you have really good ventilation :)
I use one on my boat. It is a quite versatile tool - can be used as a hot knife for cutting ropes and webbing, as a hot gun for heat shrink tubing, and, obviously, as a soldering iron.
PS I've been using mine for several years, very happy.
Thanks for the link, have been using gas and was going to upgrade to the Dremel, but will give the Pinecil a go instead!
Thee metal catalyst seems to fail on these
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ppdFY8SS8Was $67.55on Amazon day this year; still sitting unopened in the garage and its $10 cheaper now. :(
If you're looking for portable Soldering Iron, I would highly recommend the Pinecil (which can be powered by a USB-C Powerbank or barrel jack)
