NovelLife Original TS101 Electric Soldering Iron Kit Adjustable Temperature Smart Digital Screen Display with TS B2 Solder Tip XT60 Power Cord USB Type C Cable 24V 3A Power Supply TS100 Upgrade

Update:This is a game changer. It is literally a few seconds' wait to heat up to your selectable(100-400 Celsius) operating temp!Almost as quickly, it's cooled back to room temp when you're done.It's tiny, solidly built, and has an OLED display for a variety of info.interchangeable replacement tips are one screw, trivial to do.This one comes with a power brick that serves up 24v @3 amps, so you get the full power potential of the iron with it. It will operate down to 10v, for battery powered soldering jobs away from your workbench.End of update.The first one arrived, I plugged it in with its included 24V power supply, and turned it on. In a few (maybe 6) seconds, the tip was glowing orange. Glowing orange metal is around 2100 C. Solder melts at about 190 C. The iron's default setting was 300 C. The temp reading was showing -3 C while the tip was glowing orange.I'll update if the replacement iron works as expected.

I ordered this soldering gun to replace a soldering iron I have been using for the last decade. I use a soldering iron for arduino projects and 3d printed projects. This soldering iron is significantly more advanced than the antiquated soldering iron I was accustomed to.The package arrived quickly and packaged very well.This soldering iron kit includes the soldering iron, a PSU (power supply unit), a small metal base plate, a grounding cable, and a power cable to hook up to Lipo batteries for powering the soldering iron in remote locations/offgrid.The first thing I noticed was how quickly the soldering iron heats up. Blazing fast! My old soldering iron took around 10 minutes to heat up enough to melt solder, this soldering iron takes literally 10 seconds! I also appreciate that this soldering iron automatically shuts off after in-activity (must have an IMU -intervalometer motion unit, internally).I have used this soldering iron on a few projects so far and I am already in love with it.I would definitely recommend this to others.

Very portible. Used this with a power pack to repair wiring on the Benz. This tool can heat up fast and heat the target surfaces fast, allowing the solder to flow and bind everyting together faster than any other Iron I have ever used. Very nice tool.

By far one the best soldering iron I have used. It is very portable and even can be ran off of batteries and it has a very fast heat up time. The tip is holding up almost as well as some of the higher end soldering stations that I have used but I have also abused it a lot seeing what the iron could do. I ended up using third-part firmware (iron-os) on it but that was only due to the fact that I mostly am using it off of batteries and it provides a bit more information.While the tip holds the temperature fairly well it does appear to run slightly on the cool side, running 370-375 instead of the 360 that I was using on my previous setup and the iron at my work.

I love how versatile this iron is! There's a bunch of tips available and you can power it from almost anything. I have an Anker 65w GaN Prime wall charger, a Goal Zero battery bank, and I even found an adapter that lets me use my laptop charger (Dell has a 7.4mm barrel connector and the iron needs a 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel connector). The included cords are all soft silicone for heat resistance. I travel with tools alot, so being able to use my laptop charger (which I always have to carry anyway) is really nice as I can save weight and space not having to carry a dedicated power supply. It's ultra compact and lightweight compared to the butane iron I've been using. I no longer have to decide whether to take the butane one or not. This one is so small I can always take it. It's also superior to a butane iron in that you can have it in checked luggage. It's much better for the smaller detailed soldering that I often find myself doing. Butane irons can certainly dump a lot of heat into your work, but that's not always what you want. I will say, the thermal mass is not as good as a full size iron or even a butane iron. It can sometimes take a bit to get the solder to reflow. But, it's good enough to get the job done in a pinch. Using the DC barrel jack with a laptop power supply or the included one definitely yields better performance than USB-C, but I found running it off USB-C to be perfectly usable. Running it off my Goal Zero battery bank, it drew about 52w when heating. It draws >1w when idle. With the Sherpa 100AC at a full charge (≈95Wh capacity) you could work for several hours.

I will update this later as I'm waiting for more hardware to arrive.This thing is small. Fascinates me that we can have a powerful soldering iron at this size.I chose to buy from this seller because of how the power supply looked, even though I bought it with the intent to replace the supply. All of the online reviews and YouTube reviews pointed out the necessary voltage and current requirements to get a good temperature. To my surprise, I was sent a 24V 3A power supply. I was planning on a 24V 5A to be sure, but it's not a cheap-o 12V power supply like some of the others being sold. Much thanks to the seller for that.The cable on the supply is either soft PVC or silicone. Though not super soft, it may suffice for you but has some kinking. I bought an additional very soft DC extension cord to make sure it would be comfortable to use. I don't plan on using the battery cable, so am not testing that. Looks much smaller than the picture.It arrived swiftly and included everything listed and wasn't damaged at all and the box was shrink wrapped. The stand and sponge are junk. I advise anyone buying this to get some normal sponges, something to put them in and a soldering tip cleaner (the stuff that looks like metal pubes).Will add to this later upon further testing when supplies arrive. If it performs as good as people say, I plan to put it through the ringer.
