Nice little tool, I have a cordless one about the same size that I bought around 20-25 years ago and it still works, it heats up using butane fuel you fill it up like a cigarette lighter. I'm sure I bought it at Radio Shack when they where still around.
@@Brycereigle2000 nop still function like first day thanks god its rly amazing. will runn it until it hold :D than we will see market is crazy look this soldering station crazy no wires nothing ... :D
It looks very cool. I think I will put some double sided tape under the base as it looks light and prone to travel around the desk ( that might annoy me to have a travelling base). But definitely an interesting tools for on-site jobs.
They have the bend tip J02, but often you're loosing a lot of thermal power with such tips. My favorite would be the D25 they offer. I'm using a D24 on my JLC for 90% of the stuff i do. It's a great average size. Not too big, but also not too small so it still has a lot of thermal mass.
When i saw it, i was like "TAKE MY MONEY". Just ordered, can't handle to not do it. I hope this is a good quality and this super capacitor will hold for a long time :)
A cordless soldering iron is useful in the forest or in the desert. In an apartment where there is an electrical network, using battery-powered appliances is costly and not environmentally friendly.
I wish they had incorporated a similar tip removal procedure like the TS80/P and had added some sorta heat-resistant silicone in the Iron Holder portion of the Station to prevent accidentally burning the plastic.
Hi Sorin , Thanks for the all the knowledge and fun you are sharing with us ❤ , i've been watching your channel since 2 or 3 years maybe . Last week i watched the crash course part 1 but when i wanted to continue with part 2 ( the chargin circuiti think ) unfortunately i found that is reserved only for membership 😢
What melting point is your "low melting point solder" if I may ask, please? I wonder how long it would be before an owner of this nice new iron pokes the hot bit into the base unit screen when they try and put the soldering iron back into the base unit?
@@electronicsrepairschool Thank you, it's the same as the 0.8mm multicore solder I use. I had been thinking you might have found something slightly lower in temperature.
im sceptical! i would very soon tire of putting it back on the charger. cordless vor me is butane for in the field use. this is a gimmik - nothing wrong with a cable - you always know where the iron is if its attached to a wire right?
problem with buttane/gas soldering iron is that you don't have temperature control, you don't have screen to see parameters, you miss a lot of things, it is basically a primitive and bulky version of a cordless electric soldering iron.
It's a hybrid with Li-ion, not really a supercapacitor. A minimum of 2.5V according to the datasheet, otherwise it will lose capacity. You can't close it.
this looks very nice . how many amps does it pull when on? I use a Wahl ISO-TIP 7700 NICAD rechargable soldering iron...just have to make sure you use them every couple of days or the Nicads die . Peace fromOZ
Saw a guy who has a very special version of a soldering iron, and he took a lighter and tied some copper wire, so it curved around the end of the lighter. Turn it on and quickly solder something to a motherboard... what do you think, Sorin!?
Hi Sorin, I have been watching your videos for a few years on and off now I am just a parts repacer really lol I watched this vid and went to the screwdriver one now may hands hurt with arthritis and after watching your review I have ordered the screwdriver SOOoooo if I don't like it I will blame YOU lmao kidding, I love the vids and I am fixing my first guitar amp fingers crossed, the parts just came today. Regards Paul .....
Most of Miniware are very good but this one looks useless. I have TS100 and TS80p and both can be powered from usb power banks and last forever not few minutes
I left the computer on (toshiba r830-u16) until the battery ran out of charge and turned off on its own. When I got back, I turned on the computer, but it starts with a low sound and nothing appears on the screen. I removed the RAM and CMOS and tried the TV screen and the same problem remained. I need help, thank you.
we already have for some time BT/wifi multimeters, thanks to miniaturisation, we already have some wireless probes... a bit bulky, but anyway... just a search for "wireless multimeter" will wield a lot of results, mostly exact!... :) the usual suspects: Aneng and Fnirsi! :D but i know their internals, well, not exactly, but i know the basic principle, so, i will craft mine, using some old parts and stuff... it will be bulky, but this will be crafted by my own hands, not shopped! :P (funnily enough, i have a non-working fitness bracelet, kid-size... i get it for free, because wasn't working, and i wanted it to reuse their internals: accelerometer, pedometer, etc., for a self-crafted Pipboy. before hacking and slashing, i tried to see what was the problem... ultra banal and usual, broken li-po batt, used a a power supply set to 4.1, it was working fine. checked his mcu, a reasonably... old Nordic nrf one... some site search and... he-he-heeee... now, i have something nice, to play happily!!! :D)
A complete package with 5 tips and a power supply will cost you around $300. That is way too much. It doesn't last for 7 minutes, it take 7 minutes to a full charge. I wonder how many seconds you can solder with it without putting it back in the charger, 60 seconds? Please do a test, so we can see how long time you can solder with it on one fully charge ...
I have TS100 from Miniware and it is super useful. Sorin, it 20mA there, not 200mA. Nice review.
Nice little tool, I have a cordless one about the same size that I bought around 20-25 years ago and it still works, it heats up using butane fuel you fill it up like a cigarette lighter. I'm sure I bought it at Radio Shack when they where still around.
I have a Black and Decker unit like that one. Nice to have when out on a job and need to solder something up.
i am still using ts100 and i am rly rly happy with it. maybe one day if i got more money i will get this it looks rly good and practical.
😀
me too, had it for years now. did your screen go bad? Mine has had a faulty screen for longer than i can remember, and I just use it by memory lol

Miniware are Top Notch...Very Impressive Company...
Hi Sorin, we need more videod, every morning when I wake up I look for something new to watch.
Very neat execution. A practical use of supercaps.
When i saw it, i was like "TAKE MY MONEY".
Just ordered, can't handle to not do it.
I hope this is a good quality and this super capacitor will hold for a long time :)
AliExpress has 4 tips including the bent one and chisel 😮

I think it's the TS-J02 tip your looking for
agree, proper Cool..just stand could use improving the ergonomics?..i still use ts100 and it is fantastic for diy.

180 C

The reviews where we open the thing up - my kind of reviews. Like the ones I do in my channel - well done! :)
in mother russia, metal solders you.
Hello sir. please am still a beginner what are the necessary equipment that I will be using and how to get them
this looks amazing, super cap instead of battery sold me, enjoy it
Very cool tool. THX for show us Sorin! ☺

I wonder if anyone ever tried Weller tips on these Miniware irons, as they seem to have similar connectors.
Amazing features. everything now changes to wireless 😊
It's a hybrid with Li-ion, not really a supercapacitor. A minimum of 2.5V according to the datasheet, otherwise it will lose capacity. You can't close it.
Very cool. But in our country we can't buy things with batteries inside. I don't know if that capacitor inside will be detected like battery
Now I want to buy one and i don't even solder much.
I did see a review where someone put some kapton tape on the pcb over the screw terminals to stop everything moving
this looks very nice
.
how many amps does it pull when on?
I use a Wahl ISO-TIP 7700 NICAD rechargable soldering iron...just have to make sure you use them every couple of days or the Nicads die .

From Venezuela
I wonder why a super capacitor rather than a same size battery. It can not store enough energy. So the benefit is elimination of the electric cord?
Comment No3:
Now Sorin, will use the Proper cool Soldering Iron to make Proper Calibrated Fuses :D
Sorin, the commend is with love :)

love the screwdriver thanks for the tip off and also fixed my guitar amp dbl hit ;-) keep up the good work Sonin
Impressive. I'd like to try one
super caps are awesome, several million cycles of charge and discharge vs a few thousand compared to a battery.
Great
Hi Sorin, handy tool ,was told by a colleague that some hybrid cars have super capacitors ,I don't know if this is true my be fiction regards Jim
I like 😊

If you don’t want it I’ll take it. 😁

I love the fact it's repairable
7 minutes to work is fine but how much time does it take to fully charge between uses? Edit: just saw on their website it's 7 minutes to fully charge.
What is this rosin? The usual one?
👌🏻
Very usefull
@ £105 from AliExpress it had best work nice!
you dirint put the right website
Sorin you have addicted for rosin smell 😅😅😅
There is a bent tip option on their website. . . . .
The super capacitor will get way more cycles out of too.
how do I become a member
That's cool
I Like that.
Now we just need wireless multimeter probes. How nice would that be lol
we already have for some time BT/wifi multimeters, thanks to miniaturisation, we already have some wireless probes... a bit bulky, but anyway...
just a search for "wireless multimeter" will wield a lot of results, mostly exact!... :)
the usual suspects: Aneng and Fnirsi! :D
but i know their internals, well, not exactly, but i know the basic principle, so, i will craft mine, using some old parts and stuff... it will be bulky, but this will be crafted by my own hands, not shopped! :P

handle is bit big, otherwise it's great 😊
Holy $#!T, for $130.00 it should work great!
I want to ask if it is made in China
can you help send me the Ali Express link. I want to buy the iron.
Sorin, it’s $184 on Amazon? Ouch!
a bit expensive
Too expensive to do the simple task Sorin.
O sa bagi toti nebunii la testat :))) sa vezi cate vizualizari o sa ai :)))))
MiniWARE if you are reading,then know it!
I'm waiting for your induction (13.56Mhz) soldering iron.
Nice review
Just open and burn a wire 😂

Worryingly you don't seem to have a fume extractor Sorin......🤔
😉👍🖖
I do not like the long tip that it use
Wow.. testing the capacitor with a wire..
I'm sure your warranty is no longer valid ☠️
$129.00, No thanks, I'll keep using my old station ;-)
I'm wayyyy too poor for a tool like that!!!
Se pare ,nu renunti nici in ruptul capului la SACAZ!(nu esti singurul)😷
OK, we have seen it now. (And I don't want one...)
