## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes it smarter than other soldering irons ?**
A: Where to start?  Everything, it punches so far beyond its weight class.  Short list;
-RISC-V processor (open source aswell)
-Temperature monitoring takes place from the tip and reads back to the microcontroller.  This allows for almost instant compensation when working in different condition, say you dab the iron on a wet sponge, etc,
-Custom functions, power/sleep/so many options to list
-It heats up insanely fast and obviously usb-c is a huge plus as well
-The iron cost 30 bucks, Amazon marks it up a bit but my god this is a dollar store price for an iron that works as well if not better than the Sainsmart offerings (ts100 & ts80/p). I know because I own them all.
-Accepts standard and readily available ts 100 tips.
-again, it’s 30 dollars stop thinking just buy trust me.

Compare this to a “soldering station” most beginners buy which would be 2 in specific:
-Hakko FX888
-Weller (something something) they are both about 100 bucks.  They both also operate off of completely archaic methods, you have no control over your tip besides the temp limit you set on the supply; I.e. there’s no feedback from the tip itself to the power- they’re so primitive and clunky.  I have those irons as well and the only only only thing they are good for is slapping a big honkin tip on to solder a lug or desolate a large area of components quickly.  
Other than that they are inefficient and don nothing more than get hot. Slowly too I should add.

Only way to level up from here is getting into the big names intelligent irons from jbc, Hakko and weller of course sell high end proper stations but way way expensive.  Funny thing is they all work the way the 30$ pinecil does, with a little more power(a lot actually) and nice big stations to rest the iron, clean it, change handles, yadda yadda. 

Pinecil=dirt cheap bare bones version of a professional soldering station with an Mcu running open source software and has great features.  

Cons: no holder/ tip cleaning tools/ power supply.
Con #2:  you may feel bad after buying it that you didn’t get one sooner and wasted lots of money on other way overrated units.

Grab your usb c wall watt for your MacBook or whatever is lying around and plug her in. (Note some usb-c pd/qc devices will not support full power or power at all, but it’s not nearly as big of an issue as some make it out to be!)

Whoops that was a long answer

**Q: Are extra tips available to buy for this solder?**
A: Yes, it uses a standard TS100 tip. You can also order them from the Pine64 website.

**Q: Is a 12 volt lifepo4 battery compatible with this solder?**
A: This thing really needs a good amount of juice. I had a ZeroLemon ToughJuice for my previous protable, and it wouldn't push enough to power the Pinecil. If your battery bank can support PD at 65W it should work. If not, I wouldn't count on it.

**Q: Can i use ts100 tips on this unit?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***G on April 30, 2025*

This little guy is an incredibly polished piece of hardware. From small details like the LCD changing orientation based on how you hold the iron, to the animated display, you can tell a lot of work has gone into making the hardware and software. But the key question, of course, is - how does it solder? If it solders poorly then it's useless. And, with a 65W USB-PD connection, it solders well. As any iron does, it struggles with larger ground planes; that is to be expected. I used this for a custom project with a 2oz 4-layer copper pour on the PCB, and had to use two irons for many of the larger joints, as well as a hot plate to get a particularly stubborn inductor soldered. I don't think this is worth taking a star away for though; it solders well enough at its maximum temperature of 450C as long as you remember to tin the tip regularly and keep it from oxidizing, and handily trades blows with high-end Pace and Weller stations I've used that cost 10 times as much. One thing it does very nicely is heat up fast. Very fast. It takes around 15 seconds to go from room temperature to 450C, and much less if you're soldering at a more reasonable 350C. This is great because you can cool down the iron if you need it in 10 minutes, without having to wait a minute or two for it to heat back up again. That may sound trivial, but it reduces oxidation and increases the lifespan of your tip. Speaking of tips - those are cheap, too. Replacements on Amazon can be had for as low as $12, which is plenty low enough considering mine still works like new after a fair amount of usage. Overall, for the price this is very reasonable. Keep in mind that you'll need to pick up a USB-PD brick and cable with a 65W rating if you don't already have one, which pushes the total to around $110 CAD. With that being said, that price is still excellent for what this iron does, and I've already recommended it to many friends and colleagues. Seriously, buy this if you need a replacement iron or are getting into the hobby. Cheaper ones are miserable to work with, and this thing is near unbeatable for the price.
