Review: Affordable, Top Quality, Fast Heat times! - Best soldering Iron I have used, it is very portable, and can be used for most soldering needs. One of the main reasons I bought this was that it heats up extremely quick, especially compared to most soldering irons on the market. The temperature can easily be adjusted, and also has a feature that it will cool down when it is set on the table, and will fire back up when picked up. I have had more for around 2 years and have not had any issues with it.
Review: Great quality iron for a hobbyist - This iron is excellent! I've only ever owned the no-name irons with tips that get gross almost instantly and never seem to hold a consistent temp, so this is a huge upgrade. I've only used it on a few things, but it's been fantastic so far. For my uses, I've used it to desolder a couple of small wires from PCB, then resolder them with no issues, repair a headphone jack with new solder joints, and fix a guitar jack. When paired with a quality power supply, good solder, and a brass sponge, it works extremely well. It heats up within seconds - it's advertised to get to operating temp in 12, but it seems to be even faster in my experience. Crazy! It also holds a very consistent temperature, and if there are any fluctuations, you see it right on the display. It's comfortable to hold and even looks nice! The tip seems well constructed and it's a good size with a narrow end to get into tight spots. It would be nice if it came with some extras, but I suspect it'll last a while with the right care. I do wish it also came with a bag or case, since having it loose in a drawer isn't ideal. A recommendation or an optional power supply to add on would be great, as well. Just make sure you do some careful shopping and grab one that can output the higher end of what it's able to take. I actually didn't think to buy one and I made it work with a USB-C Macbook charger, and it worked really well so I've had no reason to buy another. Take a look at what you've got lying around and see if it'll work before placing another order. Overall, I highly recommend this iron if you're a hobbyist or enthusiast and just need something simple, effective, and well-made. I did a lot of research and this one kept coming up as the highest recommended cheap iron, and I definitely understand why!

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If your needing a soldering iron get this one
*by S***. on December 3, 2025*

I wish i would have found this long ago. All the good reviews this little beast has is the truth i have had over 30.soldering irons and this thing out does them all by a longshot. It is so versital can be used anywhere . Im into rc planes helis cars trucks and i usually solder something everyday. It works off different power supplys what i llike best is i can connect to a 3s 4s 5s battery pack and repair anything i need to out at the field. Itt has no problem sokdering battery terminals or soldering small wires to a drone stack . Heat ranfe us fully adjustable and it keeps up with the demand. If your thinking about getting this quit thinking and buy. I almost talked myself out of purchasing because funds wher tight but after i got it i realized i couldnt afford not to have it . From small precision soldering to larger high volume soldering it does it all. The amount of voltage you give it will deoend on how hit it will get i have used a 4s and it heats up to maxs . Do yourself a fav I r and get it you will love it. Quality I s great its lifhtweight small rigid and the heat doesnt transfer to the handle
