“Great starting kit. Has most of the things that you need though I will mention that it doesn't come with a plug which may be a downer to some - just make sure it provide enough watts (around 65w). Heats quickly and the standard tip is perfectly fine for a beginner”
“So I purely bought this for being able to use heat set inserts in my 3d prints......to start. Famous last words.
Great device, priced more competitively than a forest based shopfront, from a great company I'm happy to order from. Delivery was on point as per usual and I've been having a lot of fun. Easy to use and loads of tutorials and guides online too.
Only thing pihut......would be great to have heat set insert tips / attachements for this as a pack for different sizes. I've found using the included tip just fine, but would have totally ordered that from you too if I could have.”
“My Collegue bought his 2 years ago, he has not changed the tip yet, and is still mint.
I am impressed as we solder allot of cables, plugs etc.
I don't recommend throwing it in a case with other tools to be bashed around.
Find or get yourself a nice pouch and a strong USB C adaptor to go with it and you are set. GRADE A PRODUCT love it.”
“The soldering iron arrived on time & well packed. The TS101 product lived up to the reviews, I used it straight away with great results. I recommend this product to anyone who solders small components. You will need to ensure you've read the power requirements as the bundle I purchased did not come with a PSU or other alternative power source like USB special high powered powerbank. However the price was really good from the Pi Hut lowest across my internet search, so I choose not to buy one a PSU. I used my USB C laptop charger as the soldering iron has a PD (USB C) 9-45W. You can also use a traditional DC round jack plug PSU 9V-24V (65W). I 3D printed a case to hold the TS101 foam insert that came with the soldering iron, this worked well and saved on creating the inner storage slots. 5 out of 5 stars.”
“Great product, easy to use and works with the usb-c pc charger I have so nothing else needed to get it working - went up to 300 degrees c in a hand full of seconds and ready to use.”
