How does it compare to the TS100?
- lvturner 6y agoOr the TS80? (which also sports USB-C)
- linsomniac 6y agoI want to say the Pinecil, which I've been anxiously awaiting, is significantly less expensive... But shipping of $11 (though looks like I accidentally selected courier shipping so it's more like $50) brings it up closer to parity with the TS-100 kits you can get on Amazon for the TS100s. I'm still really excited about the Pinecil though! I don't solder a lot, so I'm looking forward to having a quick kit I can whip out instead of my whole toolbox of soldering tools with my ancient but trusty Weller.
- syntaxing 6y agoSame, super excited to have something on my desk rather than setting up my Weller! I would argue this is closer to a TS-80 than a TS-100, which cost usually around $75.

- walrus01 6y agoI think the TS100 has a big advantage that you can easily rig up a barrel DC connector to XT60/XT90 connector, and use it to solder directly from a charged portable lipo battery. https://www.google.com/search?q=ts100+lipo+cable&client=firefox-b-d&sxsrf=ALeKk03ShsPzsb-PutXHTP2Bn31RzT0xsQ:1606205076511&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiO7JWY3JrtAhUCt54KHWTwBqQQ_AUoAXoECGUQAw&biw=1512&bih=858 https://www.google.com/search?q=ts100+lipo+cable&client=fire...
- syntaxing 6y agoThe Pinecil has a barrel jack as well (at least on the website, not sure if this holds true on the product)
