He is fairly young just judging by the age of his daughter I would think. I’d say mid - late thirties maybe? I know he’s a PhD and a P.eng in electrical engineering, so he can’t be toooo young
It most likely wasn't as it never got power. The confuser through whatever pixie gates wasn't giving it a control signal... that burnt smd resistor might not be a bleeder but part of an rc time for confuser. limited info though..
It's a pulldown resistor and I believe it to be the problem as well, even though it still works its lost quite a bit of its working material so can no longer handle the current needed, the bleed resistor for the cap is actually on the underside of the board
Maybe the new generation of tools will all be better built, when the design team meetings have people saying "dude you know AvE is gonna be tearing this thing apart, right?"
I have to admit that I'm actually more impressed by the number of things you get apart and back together that still work than I am depressed by a few failures. I know that I'd kill about 90% of the stuff you work on!
I'm pretty sure I learnt more from Ave killing it than I would have from it going back together like God intended. Also it's always good to see the other guy make the mistake so you don't have to. For me this is a great video.
That Bleed down resistor you initially found next to the cap. It is in fact what shit the bed. I called for a review of the tape, and after reviewing the ref's initial call, the penalty has been declined. Replace the resistor, still first down and 10.
I've had several soldering irons/guns in my 74 years but the best one is still the big old iron I inherited from my grandfather. Still in the box it came in with a price tag stating it cost about tree fiddy.
Have this finger burner since a week and at the first go the metal tube on the top melted out of the plastic nut. Sent it to the mother ship and got a new one in the mail today, which I tested out right away and what can I say. This thing is awesome. If you need a battery powered soldering iron and you are too lazy or dumb to build one on your own, either this one or the one from Ryobi which the folks from MCM got
I rock one of these. Little bit cool for my taste and I wish they made a bigger one that takes drill bats (monster electric iron that stood up like a drill with a trigger would be awesome). I have it on a bench at work, took over the old frame irons job. No more 15 foot iron cables. I have a belt with a hammer hook that holds it. Keeps the hot end off my jeans. Solid tool. I never thought I could crank it to 11 thanks AvE.
Thank you for posting your fuckups as well as everything else. There's nothing more emasculating than putting upon yourself to fix something only to find you screwed the pooch or you're in over your head. Thing is, everyone does it. But when it happens once or twice, especially, say, twice in a row, a guy might learn to throw in the towel. Maybe next time we sit out the whole game for fear of failure. Fuck that. The only people who fail are the ones who try and you have to take the good with the bad. Watching someone like Clickspring, who btw I love, a mere mortal might think "I'll never be that guy." But I guarantee theres no magic potion in the Aussie water, there's just years of experience including failure after failure, including, I'm sure, on current projects where the footage just goes in the trash. You, This Old Tony, and Peter Brown do more for younguns showing your failures than the meticulously produced perfection elsewheres.
I'm really glad you posted this. You could have scrapped the video and no one would have been the wiser. Instead you opted to show people you're not a lizard and you can/do make mistakes.
I love this thing. I use the 3.0 battery and it lasts plenty long for my model train/track soldering. It also can use Haako tips. The freedom to move around with no cord is great as the cord would catch on all the small details. I've used it for a year with no problems.
I have a 12 watt soldering iron that was about $10, it has lasted about 40 years now, for small electronics it's great. I was once a solderability engineering tech in a high reliability electronics factory (1970s). We made parts for the Voyager and the Viking at Dale Electronics, the Isralies bought the factory and moved it to Israel.
TS100 with battery adapter, custom firmware with Voltage cutoff. Cheaper, not as bulky, great range of tips and adjustable temperature. Or just the butane ones, can recommend the ersa ...
@Kaiser Wilhem II: Value? It's a *one temp* iron that's bulky as all get out. Where is the value in that??? You want value you can find loads of ones similar to these in garage sales in old guys tools. Some of the irons are so powerful you can use them to sweat copper pipes! (BTW if you do go looking often you won't recognize them as an iron because they need a handle which is usually made of wood and often missing. Often fabric cloth over the wire. And no parts to blow! Just a heating element and a mains wire.)
ha! N00b! I have a soldering iron with a steel brad held in as its tip and it solders just as well as my other irons. Technique is everything. Tandy even had a match solder product btw.
woo the video got listed update on my comment: i do all my mobil soldering with a Butan iron 75w to be exact, so i know exactly where the shortcomings are. They get way to hot, you can solder a 0.5² wire, but flux will vaporize immediately and insulation will melt while 50w is enough for 2.5² an who solders bigger than that anyway its not i consider the ts100 a good iron, i find the ergonomics weird but In comparison to the abortion from the video....
You can see the magic smoke at 8:37. The view is obstructed by the ribbon cable for the batt. indicator, but it looks like it is the resistor next to the electrolytic cap shown around 10:00 min.
AvE you are the Mike Rowe of youtube. You make your videos interesting, fun, humorous and informative. If there were awards on TH-cam, you deserve all of them, mostly Channel of the Year and Host of the Year!! Keep up the great work. Also we need a KYDIAV tshirts.
You gotta get the high voltage multimeter probe hats. I use them on stream all the time for the really super small stuff. They draw blood, give you a huge standoff distance, are super thin, and get right the hell through conformal coating soldermask and basic solder oxygenation.
It looks to be a very handy item to have in the toolbox. I'm fond of the butane powered units because the exhaust port works well on heat shrink tubing. However, butane is not allowed in checked or carry on baggage, so a battery powered iron might be a better all around choice. This video makes me wonder why you don't fully test the products before disassembly?
I used one of those butane soldering irons to solder some nicked wires that went to my fuel pump on my van, and as luck would have it the nick was right next to the pump. I couldn't get a regular soldering iron to handle the job for some odd reason(maybe it was too cold outside? I don't remember) so I put a box fan on high right next to me to keep the fumes away and everything worked great. They're awesome for some jobs and sure as hell beat out any soldering iron/gun you get from Hallowed Fright. I might look into one of these Milwaukee's though. We work in HVAC and quite often have to solder terminals on control boards and the like, and it's much easier to have a portable soldering iron that doesn't require 110V. The butane usually works for us but we don't like using flame around natural gas if we can avoid it.
The voltage on the gate doesn't need to be negative. Just more negative than the positive rail to over come bias. Given the switch wasn't on, I'd bet you smoked something in the brain box.
Glad I saw this. I was on the fence on whether to pick one up or not. I hate battling the butane ones, most especially since I hardly used to be honest.
I'm using this video as a tutorial guide on how to make the best sodding iron ever...well over a 1000 degs Frankenstein and counting, that's amazing AvE, I need me a sodding iron like that!!
I'd be curious to see how skookum you think the TS100 Soldering iron is, as well as the ES121 Electric screwdriver. I run my TS100 off 18V tool batteries and it's great for on-site repairs. I just picked up the ES121 and I'm pretty happy with it.
After reading the comments I looked at the frames around 8:38 and I'd agree, there's a wisp of smoke from the switch-end of the board that starts at 8:37. Perhaps it can be saved? It was bad enough to learn that the nano-chainsaw bit the dust: don't turn into a serial killer.

love your videos but just wondering i try to set up my own shop (im 20 ) and i'm just wondering what tool/machines you have that you use the most, and how do you organize everything.
Too late... you wanna be more premature. 8:36 should do it. 2 seconds is like... double. C'mon, you ain't getting paid by the second, so drop it whilst it's hot and leave.
I have the Milwaukee soldering iron and almost always drag out and extention cord but there has been times that it was impossible or really inconvenient and the Milwaukee came in clutch.
Sometimes reverse polarity works in your favor. My dad got a vw beetle cheap back in the 80s because the owner couldn't get it to start. Turns out the battery was connected backwards. About 5 minutes of swapping the termanals around and it fired right up.
James Hall That rule also applies for old school stadium urinals of the trough variety. That behavior is only acceptable is the participants are under age 6.
I've heard you claim in more than one video that all the internal electronics are to "protect the battery"...but that isn't right, those parts are built into the battery on any modern name brand lithium tool. You can take a bare battery and jumper it straight to whatever you want and it will protect itself just fine - absolutely no need for such parts inside of the tool. I use my 18v batteries to power all sorts of random stuff, and they always shut themselves off if over temp, over current, or low voltage.
Bought one of these not long after they came out. It is handy as im doing soldering inside and under the dash of a car. Runs the battery flat quick and is no good at any larger wires. Is skookum as frig though.
DOUBLE UPLOAD BY AvE???? IS THIS CHRISTMAS!?!? (edit: I just noticed that some of these comments are from a week ago, why did this only send the notification 7 minutes ago, hmm)
After using one I'd say don't bother if you are doing anything with medium to large wires. I was trying to solder together 3 2.5mm wires and it took a long time to get the wires hot enough for the solder to flow properly. Also, where the tip threads onto the base got really hot and started to melt.... This wasn't even long enough to deplete a 2ah battery to halfway.
AvE, you are awesome! Keep those videos choochin'! (So, it's a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to make the temperature of this iron usable while still not melting the plastic on it?)
that style of tip (without the heater element built into the tip itself) really doesn't maintain temperature well. for the price of the milfukee i'd just go for a TS100 and a small battery pack.
The load in this case is purely resistive (just a simple heating element), no inductance; so there will not be an induced kickback voltage when the switch opens and the magnetic field collapses, for want of any magnetic field to be doing any collapsing in the first place. And it's the kickback that is what does for switch contacts in DC circuits, by starting an arc between the contacts that only extinguishes when they are sufficiently separated (an alternating current will not sustain an arc past the point of crossing the y-axis); so in this case it probably will be fine.
He said that the MOSFET doesn't get gate signal so replacing it wouldn't do anything, also the transistor shouldn't blown - as AvE said it was behind a switch.
He was right when he suspected that resistor that he was scoping through his pecker detector - rewinding the video you can see that's there the smoke was pouring out of. Usually when you overload one of those electrolytic capacitors, they blow apart, so that likely wasn't it, and the only other thing there was that resistor. It almost looks like he induced silver sulfide formation what with the little bubbles, but that could just be melted conformal coating - they look darn near identical in practice, but generally the silver sulfide forms at the contacts, but depending on the resistive element used and if he melted the protective layer off, it's possible that Ag2S formed on somewhere other than the contacts. Suffice it to say if I were he, I'd replace that resistor for the $0.17 it will cost and check the chooch afterwards.
NOPE! Been a faithful viewer and subscriber for a LOOOONNNGGG time - BUT have mentioned this many times. Love the vid's but I QUESTION just how authentic the actual performance tests are after a 3-Beer reassembly - LOL! I realize this is the channel's MO, but IMHO the testing SHOULD be done FIRST. STill, enjoy the vid's!!
@Ave you don't need "negative voltage" in respect to ground just in respect to the drain. So 0v should do. - Pmos will se "12v" on the gate. Maybe the small sot23 NMOS that had a hole in it blew.
Would turning the tip temperature pot to read colder than it is cause the brain to think it was too cold ambient and not fire to protect the battery? The first time you adjusted it, the tip was hot. The second time, cold and it threw an error. Just a guess
If you had a p-channel MOSFET connecting to the positive rail to switch the positive supply to the load, and your "bleed-down" resistor connects between the gate and positive supply, then the drive for the gate is likely drain of an N-fet with the source connected to ground or the collector of an NPN with the emitter connected to ground. The n-fet could be driven directly by logic or the npn could be driven by logic with a resistor (that would be the simplest way to go from logic to driving the 12volt high-side power P-fet.
Soddering iron, thats how we always prononuced it. I used to get sick from the smell, I suspect it was the toxic shmooze my dad used. I use mine often and no problemo. Back in the 60's and 70's, who knows what they put in their solder, or sodder or whatever....Just...yeah. Nice tear down. I have a cordless I keep in my RC plane repair bag. It works great. Got it from Radio Shack before they went belly up. Nice to see the inner bits without gutting my own out. I agree with you concerning the flame thrower type. Back when I repaired Snowmobiles, a flame of any kind was welcome on frozen fingers when working on electricals on sleds. You now have a parts and pieces is parts thingy. Oops ,running the pixys backwards is bad, they run amuck and destroy shit. I am suprised they didnt put a fuse in there. But then again, who puts the battery in bass ackwards? Oh, you did. Lol. Shit happends. Then you have parts is pieces of parts.
AvE have you done a review of the Milwaukee Corded Electric Spade Handle Drill With Pipe Handle - 1/2in. Chuck, 7.0 Amp, 450 RPM, Model# 1660-6 or any of it's variants?
But is it worth buying? I'm a auto electrician and have been looking for a worthy replacement to a butane iron I run a scope electric iron but need a good portable
The MOSFET doesn't need negative voltage it needs voltage a certain amount lower than the source (if it is rated for 12V the gate to source difference might be something like -10v), it is getting 12v through the resistor, which would be something like 10-20k, because it is pulled up for it to go to the "off" state when the brain stops grounding the gate aka "turning it on", the resistance to ground would be less than the pull up resistance, maybe something like 1k. Also a soldering iron without temperature control is good for nothing, unless you are soldering cable or something similar, check Louis Rossmanns video of the TS100, posted a few days ago!
Do you think if you hadn’t put the battery on backwards and turned the potentiometer up it will last ??????? Or are there other electric components relying on it to work at a certain temperature????

No Thanks an interesting matter of geometry that..
It's almost as if they intended you to install the battery properwise.
I’m kind of confused. I thought in the end the mosfet was the problem. Why not replace it?
Nopes, the thing that turns the mosfet on is dickered. He checked again and the mosfet was fine.
the FET is fine, its the microcontroller that triggers the FET that let the smoke out.
It most likely wasn't as it never got power. The confuser through whatever pixie gates wasn't giving it a control signal... that burnt smd resistor might not be a bleeder but part of an rc time for confuser. limited info though..
It's a pulldown resistor and I believe it to be the problem as well, even though it still works its lost quite a bit of its working material so can no longer handle the current needed, the bleed resistor for the cap is actually on the underside of the board

If only you had a soldering iron, you could replace the mosfet.
I thought he was gonna
Reed Hedges mosfet was fine the gate is not driven probably the main controller dead or partially dead
The resistor was a pulldown resistor, and is probably the problem
Yeah just like scissors packaged in that terrible plastic stuff that takes scissors to open up
Just like you mill the parts to build a lathe.
That Bleed down resistor you initially found next to the cap. It is in fact what shit the bed. I called for a review of the tape, and after reviewing the ref's initial call, the penalty has been declined. Replace the resistor, still first down and 10.

James Hall That rule also applies for old school stadium urinals of the trough variety. That behavior is only acceptable is the participants are under age 6.
TS 100 iron next. Louis rossman aproves!
Louis, Marco, any many others. I picked one up and it is a skookum choocher out of the box!
I've heard you claim in more than one video that all the internal electronics are to "protect the battery"...but that isn't right, those parts are built into the battery on any modern name brand lithium tool. You can take a bare battery and jumper it straight to whatever you want and it will protect itself just fine - absolutely no need for such parts inside of the tool.
I use my 18v batteries to power all sorts of random stuff, and they always shut themselves off if over temp, over current, or low voltage.
Bought one of these not long after they came out. It is handy as im doing soldering inside and under the dash of a car. Runs the battery flat quick and is no good at any larger wires. Is skookum as frig though.
DOUBLE UPLOAD BY AvE???? IS THIS CHRISTMAS!?!?
(edit: I just noticed that some of these comments are from a week ago, why did this only send the notification 7 minutes ago, hmm)
Salty Cadet posted to patreon a week early
Early release for patreon
You aren't part of uncle bumblefuck's club.
Only club I'm interested in getting into that costs you money has dancing ladies.
Patreon club gets early viewing. It's fair.
There is smoke escaping at 8:38 :)
Skookum as frig until you connect it sidewardwise. A privilege to watch you work sir.
After using one I'd say don't bother if you are doing anything with medium to large wires.
I was trying to solder together 3 2.5mm wires and it took a long time to get the wires hot enough for the solder to flow properly.
Also, where the tip threads onto the base got really hot and started to melt....
This wasn't even long enough to deplete a 2ah battery to halfway.
That fart was impressively tight AvE you must work out 🏋️♀️
At birth in China your given a Wok, Soldering iron , and calculus book.
Too funny.
Too bad they are made in China.
AvE, you are awesome! Keep those videos choochin'! (So, it's a 1/4 turn counterclockwise to make the temperature of this iron usable while still not melting the plastic on it?)
Nice footage from the phone!
No focus issues and acceptable sound.
Mini chainsaw would have given you a faster time on that packaging! Edit:. Woops, just saw the other video. That explains it.
that style of tip (without the heater element built into the tip itself) really doesn't maintain temperature well. for the price of the milfukee i'd just go for a TS100 and a small battery pack.
just used my circa 2000 -2003 butane iron from blue point. used 2 or 3 times /week incredibly it still works and is quite hot
The load in this case is purely resistive (just a simple heating element), no inductance; so there will not be an induced kickback voltage when the switch opens and the magnetic field collapses, for want of any magnetic field to be doing any collapsing in the first place. And it's the kickback that is what does for switch contacts in DC circuits, by starting an arc between the contacts that only extinguishes when they are sufficiently separated (an alternating current will not sustain an arc past the point of crossing the y-axis); so in this case it probably will be fine.
Why not order the fet and fix her right and proper?
He said that the MOSFET doesn't get gate signal so replacing it wouldn't do anything, also the transistor shouldn't blown - as AvE said it was behind a switch.
Mike oliver The FET is not bad. The uC pin controlling the FET is bad.
Icy Uranus LOL
He was right when he suspected that resistor that he was scoping through his pecker detector - rewinding the video you can see that's there the smoke was pouring out of. Usually when you overload one of those electrolytic capacitors, they blow apart, so that likely wasn't it, and the only other thing there was that resistor.
It almost looks like he induced silver sulfide formation what with the little bubbles, but that could just be melted conformal coating - they look darn near identical in practice, but generally the silver sulfide forms at the contacts, but depending on the resistive element used and if he melted the protective layer off, it's possible that Ag2S formed on somewhere other than the contacts.
Suffice it to say if I were he, I'd replace that resistor for the $0.17 it will cost and check the chooch afterwards.
The mosfet is not the problem, most likely burned the logic right out of the ic
It would make a while shit load of sense to do the testing of a tool PRIOR to disassembly - NO??
NOPE! Been a faithful viewer and subscriber for a LOOOONNNGGG time - BUT have mentioned this many times. Love the vid's but I QUESTION just how authentic the actual performance tests are after a 3-Beer reassembly - LOL! I realize this is the channel's MO, but IMHO the testing SHOULD be done FIRST. STill, enjoy the vid's!!
You scorched your eye loom buddy, now you will remember this tool forever
@Ave you don't need "negative voltage" in respect to ground just in respect to the drain. So 0v should do. - Pmos will se "12v" on the gate.
Maybe the small sot23 NMOS that had a hole in it blew.
You really can't accurately measure a iron with a standard thermocouple. The readings will be all over the place.
If you ain’t first, you’re last.
Josh G hell ricky I was high when I said that!
Icy Uranus yeah... kinda creepy ain't it?
anotherrandomtexan25 Slingshot engaged
Would turning the tip temperature pot to read colder than it is cause the brain to think it was too cold ambient and not fire to protect the battery? The first time you adjusted it, the tip was hot. The second time, cold and it threw an error. Just a guess
Nifty, hate it when the smoke escapes. What tip style is that one using? Kinda looks like the FX-888D T-18 type.
I clicked on this video faster than id unload in the mrs.
More tea vicar?
Martin D A one lump or 2
impossible!
Yes I can't seem to manage in your missus either.
Who's Mr. S?
Soldering iron*
If you had a p-channel MOSFET connecting to the positive rail to switch the positive supply to the load, and your "bleed-down" resistor connects between the gate and positive supply, then the drive for the gate is likely drain of an N-fet with the source connected to ground or the collector of an NPN with the emitter connected to ground. The n-fet could be driven directly by logic or the npn could be driven by logic with a resistor (that would be the simplest way to go from logic to driving the 12volt high-side power P-fet.
I feel like I know what I am doing till I watch this guy. Soo much knowledge.
Soddering iron, thats how we always prononuced it. I used to get sick from the smell, I suspect it was the toxic shmooze my dad used. I use mine often and no problemo. Back in the 60's and 70's, who knows what they put in their solder, or sodder or whatever....Just...yeah. Nice tear down. I have a cordless I keep in my RC plane repair bag. It works great. Got it from Radio Shack before they went belly up. Nice to see the inner bits without gutting my own out. I agree with you concerning the flame thrower type. Back when I repaired Snowmobiles, a flame of any kind was welcome on frozen fingers when working on electricals on sleds. You now have a parts and pieces is parts thingy. Oops ,running the pixys backwards is bad, they run amuck and destroy shit. I am suprised they didnt put a fuse in there. But then again, who puts the battery in bass ackwards? Oh, you did. Lol. Shit happends. Then you have parts is pieces of parts.
"Dungarees Frankestein" got me good.
Always cool, when I learn something new.
I'm super impressed how adept you are using just one hand...
9:45 -- Focus issues aside, this works great! Now you've gone and made me curious about adding lenses to existing cameras, again.
AvE have you done a review of the Milwaukee Corded Electric Spade Handle Drill With Pipe Handle - 1/2in. Chuck, 7.0 Amp, 450 RPM, Model# 1660-6 or any of it's variants?
But is it worth buying? I'm a auto electrician and have been looking for a worthy replacement to a butane iron
I run a scope electric iron but need a good portable
wow that was an abysmal unboxing time. I really expect more from you AvE.
The MOSFET doesn't need negative voltage it needs voltage a certain amount lower than the source (if it is rated for 12V the gate to source difference might be something like -10v), it is getting 12v through the resistor, which would be something like 10-20k, because it is pulled up for it to go to the "off" state when the brain stops grounding the gate aka "turning it on", the resistance to ground would be less than the pull up resistance, maybe something like 1k. Also a soldering iron without temperature control is good for nothing, unless you are soldering cable or something similar, check Louis Rossmanns video of the TS100, posted a few days ago!
Backed it up and watched the video again and watched the smoke right by the cap
Your phone makes the reds more vibrant, I like that.
Do you think if you hadn’t put the battery on backwards and turned the potentiometer up it will last ??????? Or are there other electric components relying on it to work at a certain temperature????
