Hey Mon Ami Thanks for stopping by ..... It has it's advantages for being a really low budget item ... Considering that it actually works, there was a soldering tool years ago advertised on TV that cooled real fast so as not to burn yourself in case you accidently touched the tip ..... I heard that was the biggest piece of junk out there ....... Well the way not to burn yourself is not to touch the tip .... LOL A person learns really fast not to touch a tip after 2 or 3 times ....of doing it ..
Actually it was Ali ExPress you were close tho.... Friday night on my live stream a electronic tech on you tube TheElectronMan th-cam.com/video/faDLhlEMi7k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1-5wDsFMWyYvnWik stopped in the panel and saw it .... He was curious and looked it up 99 cents on Ali express using the link I put in my description box... He ordered several plus something else at free shipping for 10 bux or more you can't beat it .... even tho one of the irons craps out the tip itself is worth 4 or 5 bux...
One more thing ..... The T-12 tips will heat up in this iron , but the temperature / watts will vary a little ..... Like you said it does affect the ease of soldering ..... The ohms difference is what causes the difference in temps ...
Handy little tool. Nice Cajun. 😁
Thats a really cool tool!

I would like to win that. BTW are you going to go live tonight?
Yeah I'm fixin to set it up in a minute...
Can you check compatibility with T12 / T15 tips? They are longer, making them less comfortable with this grip, but the connector looks similar.
I did check that and the T-85 tips that come with the iron are 6 ohms and my T-12 tips are 8 ohms to 9 ohms .....
