    These are amazing, I keep one in the car with a cigarette adapter for doing repairs.

    I use one on my desk to build race drones.

    And I keep one in my toolbox with a molex\sata power cable (12v rail), to fix wiring, or custom wire fans.

    I should buy more.

    • Axelstrife on 21/02/2020 - 12:47

      This is replacing a cheap Hakko copy soldering station from ebay, im only using a 12v 1.5A power supply i have currently and it still heats up ALOT faster than my ebay solder station.

      • MasterScythe on 21/02/2020 - 12:49
        +2

        Oh yeah, 12v still gets it to 350C within probably 10~15 seconds; but I'm ready to solder before that.

        19v 2A+ laptop power suppliers are the king for these things.

        5 second heat up time.

  • twocsies on 21/02/2020 - 12:44

    Does it come with the power supply? Seems that it does not, but it is not explicitly stated.

    • MasterScythe on 21/02/2020 - 12:45

      None of the other suppliers do; so I'd assume not.

      19v laptop power supplies are the sweet spot for 'high power' but 'safe for the VRM'.

      Gets to 350c within 5 seconds.

    • Axelstrife on 21/02/2020 - 12:45

      The TS100 never come with a power supply.

      • deadpoet on 21/02/2020 - 14:45

        This. A cheap variable laptop power supply should suffice for powering it.

  • WayneOZ on 21/02/2020 - 13:03

    What kind of power supply should I buy? Current capacity? Any form factors?

  • Black Hole on 21/02/2020 - 13:14

    Bought, thank you OP.

  • regsofweb on 21/02/2020 - 13:15

    • moonpen on 21/02/2020 - 14:02

      It does have an earth screw-down terminal. Finding a PSU with an earth spade connector is a different story

      • regsofweb on 21/02/2020 - 15:56

        Yeah. There is a screw. But it's a pain.

        • endotherm on 22/02/2020 - 02:26

          It's more for an anti-static wrist strap.

          • eug on 22/02/2020 - 11:02

            @endotherm: Buy why would you connect your wrist strap to an ungrounded soldering iron?

  • kapone on 21/02/2020 - 14:17

    Can someone explain the CNC aspect of this to me?

  • SteveAndBelle on 21/02/2020 - 14:18

    Bought one of these on a whim 12-18 months ago just to see what the fuss was all about. I soon found out and now use it instead of my Hakko 936. A great little iron which I mainly use powered by an Ozito 4Ah Battery using one of their $10 Standard Chargers as a base. Haven't finished it yet but I'll take some shots when I get home. Removed the guts of the charger as that will be where the iron & tips are stored when being transported. Just need to throw some hinges and a latch on it then it's done. Hmmm, maybe I need a second…. hmmmm.

    • ZT on 21/02/2020 - 14:31

      Very interested to see this!

      • SteveAndBelle on 21/02/2020 - 14:36
        +1

        It's only a prototype at this stage so it's a bit rough but yeah, works SO well and with 21V to play with and loads of current on tap it heats up extremely fast. Once I get the hinges & latch on the two halves I'll then look into attaching an iron holder and will add a switch & fuse/breaker then it'll be done. I'm hoping to get it so all the bits & pieces fit into the shell so it's a nice neat little unit to carry around. We'll see. It's difficult doing this fun stuff without a workshop but that'll be coming within the next few months (fingers crossed) then it'll be on like Donkey Kong :)

        OK, here are the pics…

        Any questions, ask away!

        • WayneOZ on 22/02/2020 - 00:57

          Thanks for sharing. Well I'm complete noob on this iron but I do know how to use an traditional one. I want this mainly for soldering my R/C hobbies. My question is what kind of power supply do I need to build a soldering station like yours? Corded and battery powered which one is more recommended? I have 3 Ryobi 18v so batteries not gonna be a problem. Cheers!

          • endotherm on 22/02/2020 - 02:34

            @WayneOZ: They can be set to run off LiPo hobby batteries as well as a power supply.

        • moonpen on 22/02/2020 - 13:44
          +1

          That looks soooo awesome, the only suggestion that I could make is to create a socket for the cable going to the iron rather than hard wiring it.

          • SteveAndBelle on 22/02/2020 - 14:02

            @moonpen: Oh yes, absolutely. This is still just the prototype as I needed to prove the concept before wasting what little spare time I have getting it schmick. Iron holder, DC socket, switch, fuse/breaker and the hinges & catch will finish it off nicely. Oh and a nice handle on the front too :)

      I love everything about this idea!

      Im going to do the same if i can find a broken ryobi charger.

      18v ryobi one batteries, i have many!

  • eug on 21/02/2020 - 15:04

    I have a Goot RX-711 soldering station but I prefer the TS100's speed and thermal recovery. At this price I'm tempted to replace the Goot with this. The Goot's ergonomics are nicer, but for shorter soldering jobs, this is fine.

    I recommend getting a silicone cable like this. You can cut and join the cable from your power supply to it, or you can buy the 1.5m one and just replace the whole cable. With this cable the iron won't be pulled down by a heavy inflexible DC cable.

    edit: wrong link

  • SickDmith on 21/02/2020 - 15:10

    If I want to use an iron with power bank is it better to get TS80?

    • eug on 21/02/2020 - 15:12
      +1

      Yup, less hassle… although you could get a Type C PD trigger which will allow you to use a Type C power bank with this TS100.

      One thing I prefer on the TS80 is the shorter tip to grip distance. The quick-change tips are nice too! Makes it a lot easier to pack away too, as you can just pull the tip off.

      • SickDmith on 21/02/2020 - 16:34

        Thanks.
        Sounds like TS80 will be better for me.

  • go2home on 21/02/2020 - 15:33

    Bought it. Thanks. I have a PD to 12V cable. Will try if it works with my PD powerbank.

  • zemphism on 21/02/2020 - 18:24

    Is it easy to get replacement heads for this?

    • SteveAndBelle on 21/02/2020 - 19:04

      Yep. Search for TS100 on eBay and all will be revealed. Hundreds to choose from.

    • MasterScythe on 23/02/2020 - 14:56

      Super easy.
      I buy sets of 5 from banggood.

      Not that ive needed more than 1 yet, and thats because i used the original for plastic welding and damaged it.

  • Yosan on 01/03/2020 - 15:34

    Is this website a scam?

    • Axelstrife on 01/03/2020 - 15:35

      my order made on 21 feb is still in the confirmed stage, i.e. i haven't received confirmation that it has been sent out. so, i'll give it a bit longer and see what happens with it. it does feel a bit scammy at the moment, though.

      • Srey on 02/03/2020 - 12:57

        I ordered on the 22nd, and in the same situation as you: confirmed but no dispatch.

        Sent them an email this morning to see what's happening, I'll post again if I get a response.

        • Srey on 03/03/2020 - 12:38

          Here's the response I got overnight:

          Hello friend,

          This product is hot sales, Now is out of stock.
          This week i will add more stock to send, hope you can understand.
          Have a nice day

          Best regards

          Hopefully it gets dispatched sometime soon.

          • Yosan on 03/03/2020 - 15:57

            • Srey on 03/03/2020 - 21:17

              @Yosan: Just got a dispatch email! Along with this message as well:

              "I know some australian friends order this hottest items,
              Please let them know, just relax, i will send the product as soon as possible,
              Because our local warehouse has no stock now, i will try to send from UK warehouse, need test the shipping time,
              Please help me ask them, don't worry."

              Given that other people have bought from the successfully I'm inclined to believe this, looks like it genuinely could be a supply issue cause they got ozbargained.

        • koom on 05/03/2020 - 22:34

          i had no notification up until today. i emailed them asking what's going on, received an apology and then 2 hrs later confirmation it has been shipped. so we will see.

        • RandomBob84 on 06/03/2020 - 14:20

          I have just emailed to see what going on with my order.
          It does look a little suss to me. Looks like they are only shipping if you make an inquiry as Koom advised shipped only once inquired. I will advise the response, but looks like they are hoping people forget.

                • SteveAndBelle on 11/03/2020 - 13:49

                  @RandomBob84: Hmm, very good point. I did test it when I first receive it but did so on my phone so when I saw it fail I wasn't too bothered. I had forgotten to follow this up on a PC but yes you're right, my tracking number can't be found either. Hmmm. Paid with PayPal though so should be all good to get a refund.

                  • koom on 11/03/2020 - 23:34

                      @koom: I had the same issue, tracking number went to le post and wasn't recognised.
                      Insker emailed early this week to see if the order had arrived and I told them it hadn't and asked about the tracking number.

                      They said not to worry about it (worrying) and that this was the first time shipping from that warehouse to Aus (apparently my order was the first shipped) - also worrying.

                      Good news though, it arrived today! Iron looks great, even more compact than I was expecting, just gotta sort out a decent lead for the dell PSU I snagged now.

                      The carrier listed on my parcel is Deutsche Post, and it definitely has the tracking number that the seller supplied under the barcode. I still get a "not found" if I try and track the number on deutsche post though.

                      So definitely not the most straight forward order I've made, but it does look legit. All the updates they sent make sense with the timeframe for delivery, could be that they legit got inundated with orders and just weren't ready for it.

              @RandomBob84: Not sure I'd go as far as to call it fake tracking. Legit number, just not track-able. Not sure if they were originally supposed to be sent with tracking? Certainly shipping notifications incorrectly listing it as traceable was a mistake.

              PS. If anyone has a Gooloo jump started powerbank, the iron works quite well using the 15V DC jack via a 5.5x2.1mm to 5.5x2.5mm cable. Not sure if anyone sells such a thing, but easy enough to make.
