Whats it been? A yeah and a half. If I had just focused, this should been a fast project. Glad to be done with it.

[@jeffescortlx]

This is a cool little project! I love it

[@FixedUntilBroken]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The j1850 VPW project is coming back too!

[@autumnjeserich2689]

nice project, I have a super small cheapo t12 clone that takes dc power directly, so I rigged a couple fuses to fit in the terminal with wires going to a barrel jack to connect it to my milwaukee battery. Very crude set up but it works Definitely don't have the battery life you will though lol

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Yeah I've seen projects like that. I started this almost 2 years ago but if I'm not mistaken seeing that online gave me the idea to do it with ego battery.
They are kinda pricey batteries but I already had them from my yard tools.

If I can find a replacement handle for my KSGER, I might have to try this mod for myself!

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Yeah my main problem with the t12 stations is that I hate the handle. I'm kinda surprised no one has made an adapter for the real Hakko handles but I really haven't looked into that

[@dabyd64]

How in earth have you not fixed that LDO yet!

[@FixedUntilBroken]

Haha surprised you noticed! Yeah I just never actually use it. Maybe a future video? I'm spoiled rotten I have JBC, Hakko and Metcal in my office.

[@dabyd64]

@@FixedUntilBrokenYeah I noticed when you said "It's working" Huh? it's still off? 😂 Oh, wait, now I remembered the LDO issue lol.
Not jealous, those are the way to go in profesional jobs haha

​@@dabyd64 I'm not the biggest fan of the Metcal. Mostly just because I can never remember what temp the tips are. It's probably the most powerful of the 3. I got it for free from the dumpster at work. The Hakko I use for desoldering gun. I couldn't justify the cost of the JBC desoldering gun. The JBC station I got a really good price on. I bought it first out of the 3.
