- The Boffin compares three inexpensive Soldering Irons for beginner electronics;
Yihua 947-II, Quicko 951-T12 & TS100

(no promotional money has been paid to the Boffin for the review of these irons)

One note, the TS100 with 19V is not at full power, it does required the 24V power supply in order to put out the claimed 70W/65W or thereabouts ...
After watching several different videos with ts100 on my mind to be my hero, THIS VIDEO is the most true ( so far) for DIY people looking to get soldering iron on budget with high quality capabilities. Thank You!
Using the TS100 at 24V should help with the last copper plate test
Put a k tip on those quiko or the ts100.. you'll see a difference in performance. Those little pointed tips are crap. I have soldered pennies together using the ksger t12 (slightly upgraded quiko.. ) and it took me 27 seconds to wet on a penny. It's not thermal mass where you get the problem.. its the conductivity of that heat.. even beiing direct drive.. you need surface area to conduct. The quicko looks like it had a j2 on it.. which would be better than the straing cone tips you have on the other two. I do turn the ksger up to 400 when doing pennies though.. and that probably has a lot to do with it as well..
Great comparison, gives a good guide to the big picture from the price point stated
ts-100 ground plane performance is improved with firmware update.
Comparing with Hakko or Weller, Quicko will not perform any worse. The difference is in the tip equipped. With the same tip, you will get the same performance. Cheaper does not necessarily mean worse in performance, it may lack in other respects.
what a demonstration, thermal transfer depends on the size of the tip, use flat head tip for both ts100 and t12 it will show much thermal transfer
Actually what I was demonstrating is the ability for the tip to come back up to temperature when given a big thermal mass. Also, I used tips that were similar in size on all three, to avoid any bias
@@Boffin55 no you did not use same tip types so admit that ,i have weller hackos and ts100 plus all school ceramic termal transfer hackkos and wellers and i can tell you the tip makes a big difference with big ground planes and big parts,ts100 with the new firmware and a chisel tip can do a lot for a small gun by the way
useful video to know about Yihua on sale
Thanks for the comparison, very useful.
thanks for the video, btw what multimeter do you recommend me of a middle cost...?
For low cost, try the Aneng AN8002 or 8008. (under $30). The one in the video is a Brymen BM235 (available from eevblog), its around $100
i have a similar item to the cheap $13 a hakko 907 if you used one of the fatter tips instead of the needle point at 350 mine solders on heavy planes no problem, as you say its thermal mass, and the only mass is in the tip and not the whole shaft as in the other 2. others have rated the t100 very highly so i think it comes down to tip choice
I've just put in an order for the Quicko 952. Hope it's good :)
Its good, i think to buy one?
4:25 I have a later model from Quicko, the T12-953, which also has the same temperature jumping issue. The temperature readings becomes stable if I disconnect the ground, very weird.
You might not have a good ground, which is likely used as a reference
In terms of the copper test, wouldn't a higher heat setting help? The T12-951 can get to 450 Celsius, and with a larger tip it should help in heat transfer.
I was thinking the same but I guess he wanted to compare like with like and just see how each compared with the same temps.
@@danielhenderson7050 i have since finally got around to assembling and testing the t12-951, it's excellent, I use it for electronics repairs and it gets hot fast, stays on temp and the handle is excellent, so easy to manipulate thanks to the silicone cord.
ELiT3CH that’s great, good to know!
While you could set a higher temperature, the point of the test is to see how quickly it recovers.
the yihua is not very flexible in the cable but it is resistant to heat, it should be clarified. good video
video great, thank you!.
I have my doubts that the Weller or Pace or Hakko could do any better with that test you showed. That looked like a slab of copper flat stock and that will rob any Iron of it heating capabilities. No Iron can do every thing. That test would be equivalent to welding a battery cable which could take a 240W iron to do it successfully
It's a piece of 1oz, 1.6mm copper clad PCB blank. My 40 yr old weller with a 700F tip did better than all three, although I didn't show it on cam.
Its a good video but doing these tests it should be self explanatory to set the irons to the temperature using the multimeter thermocouple not the station and then compare them side by side. I think that you would be surprised ;)
Bad comparison, if you're going to do accurate 'like for like' then please do it correctly, very bad testing procedures, I'm sorry but if you are going to do comparison testing do it right or don't bother there's no point, misinformation at best!
you can't compare apples to pears,
and then we are not even talking about the price !?
Was not a good comparison, you have to use the same tips size, then you get the a good comparison.
and yes with the new firmware you get much better performance now.
