Miniware TS1C Cordless Soldering Iron Review

Is this the first cordless soldering that is actually worth buying?

3:17 I find that the design could have been improved with the inclusion with some sort of heat resistant silicone.

To use classic tips run from a 3v super cap requires a big boost! When you said "there really isn't much going on here" on the tear-down, I was looking at the biggest SMT inductor I'd ever seen.. (I'd bet the primary is at least 10 AWG!)

I can see this being very useful for automotive wiring inside a car, My TS100 power cable was getting in the way whilst working on head units etc

1:47 Correction: 3 mounting-points (one to the front and the two on either side). Nice video by the way.

My version of this is a pinecil with a powerbank, very useful when soldering in the field.

I'm most looking forward to when they come up with a pocket hair dryer

Hmm $200 AUD, can get really good options for that price point.
This is pretty useful for people like me that need quick and simple soldering jobs on hobby/consum level parts with some frequency of use.
This would beat plugging my ts80 into a usb port but… i don’t know if being able to forego that simple effort is worth $200

Wow this is a really cool setup! I can see it being great for on a bench to have the freedom from a cord but still kept charged during use. I may have to get one lol. I wonder why I never have any money. Too many cool gadgets I want/need lol.

Seems like it would work well for ESD sensitive projects.

What CPU does the iron use? What CPU does station use?

What is the range of this and would it still work if it loses bt connexion to the base?

[marioalday]

I miss the iron not being able to be controlled without the BT nearby. A minimal control like powering up/down at the latest temperature would be nice. If it has a BT controller inside it could have had a minimal manual control.

what an exceptionalreview! Subscribing now :)

I really like the tip design of the TS80 line... I just wish they were more ubiquitous so they cost a bit less. I'll probably get one of the TS100/101's soon just due to them overall being cheaper.

[kailumgg]

This is a really nice looking station but what would the capacitors life spand be as you are charging and draining it at least 5 times you use it and i wonder how many months or years that cap would last

[jamess]

Thanks my friend from down-under (and then a bit of a flight over towards the middle of the Pacific).

Too bad they didn't send you the right power adapter 🤜🤛

What is the quickest heat up, smallest cordless digital soldering iron you’ve seen?

[diyathomevn]

*_Excepcional projeto, parabéns pela criatividade, muito bom mesmo Br._*

[mistercohaagen]

Pretty cool... but I'd never give up having a fume extraction tube near my iron tip. I wish Miniware could make such a thing portable and graceful... which is the opposite of what my Aoyue is.

The aliexpress link doesn't work.
