Fantastic! Thanks a lot, Joshua! 😃 I've been looking for a soldering iron to replace my bench one! This one looks like a big step in the right direction! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

When you power it up it shows the current ambient temperature. That means that you can use it as a thermometer!!! ;)

Not really, the thermocouples in these soldering irons are terribly inaccurate

These are great, I have used it many, many times repairing and resoldering the Jumper 16.

I have been rocking this iron for the last few months!! A Great option!

You helped me so much when I got into this hobby thanks Bardwell

Thanks Joshua, really appreciate the tips on cheap good stuff.

Awesome already order along with the Speedybee and some extra Solder!!! Thanks man!!!👌👌👌👌

Been running the SQ ts100 clone for a while now, love it!

snagged one of these from RDQ when they were very first listed a few months ago. Best purchase I've made in a long time. It works phenomenally, and I have no complaints.

Can you upgrade the firmware like the sq001 and ts100?

just wanted to say thanks for sharing your video and im a rookie starter in solder and to tell you the truth wasnt gonna subscribed but your ending in the video is great and again thanks for the help.

Just bought a soldering iron the looks similar but with the screw on tip holder for $16 off Amazon that is digital temp controlled and goes up to 480c. Also came with solder stand tweezers. I could cut the cord and solder in a connector but I have been using a butane iron for out doors

Sickk, just orderd 1 of these, glad your reviewing this haha

great review. Interesting irons. The end card though, JB been watching some Alton brown.

I like my Sequre D100. Got it from RDQ. It uses the same barrel connector as the TS-100 and comes with the adapter.

Back in the days I was repairing TVs with a schematic, a multi-meter(analogue) and a induction soLdering gun. Down to individual transistors, resistors and caps. I've seen people doing a brilliant job with cheap tools and people doing really shitty jobs with very expensive equipment, soLdering irons and other gizmos. I've built my own soldering station from an old PC PSU, 6 euro chinese 12V soldering iron with proper tips, and few other bits and bobs. Got another 230V, 60W (with my own DIY temperature control module) for tough jobs. Built 5 quads with them and other electronics projects, including my own flight controllers. It's all down to skills. The trick is in the quality of solder and flux you're using, and then adapt to it and polish the skill. Practice, practice, practice.. That's it. We're not building a space-crafts here. It's a hobby.

How do I make a soldering station from an old psu?

Thanks for Joshua Bardwell Great review and soldering testing.

Every time you attach this particular outro Im immediately reminded of the Tom Waits song "What's he building in there?"... Jusst had to share that! :v Ive got one of these Sequer soLdering irons in my shopping basket waiting until Im less shitty with BG before I pull the trigger... I DID have a TS100- was one of my first purchases in/for the hobby... I only used it 2 or 3 times & packed it away to move house only for it to be stolen by the gumby I moved in to board with & now it's gone forever- nearly 100AUD down the gurgler. Was originally pointed at the TS100 by Final Glide Aus & been intending to buy another, but after having already bought one & being on a budget I had been putting it off... I didnt know about the D100 so will be checking that out instead I think,,, Thanks for that JB & all the best

You are not wrong Joshua! I bought a tinyhawk 2 to avoid building but had to borrow a soldering iron to fix the battery cable back on, ugliest solder ever but it works again! Perfect timing for me with this video! Have you or can you, do a vid on solder types and flux? What do you use? 👍🤙👍

Thanks for the great advice

TS100-4-Life :) I bought one in a Banggood sale at the beginning of this year, literally minutes after I tried using it I went back on Banggood and ordered another whilst it was still on offer. One for home, one for my quad backpack.

​@@ValFPV Personally the largest I've soldered is XT60 and it has no trouble with that. But you can solder XT90s with it, this guy did: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gY14x9GgdtCyh6w.html Powering it from 20v-24v means it will heat up significantly faster than 12v, good for when soldering things that soak up the heat, and there's a custom firmware that pushes its max temp from 400C to 450C.

i love this thing ive been using one for over a year you can use a lipo or like a computer power plug 100% behind this thing mines blue

JB- you don’t have to be the first to review, the honored practical way to test first still is the best. And coming from a trusted source is the way to go, in my humble opinion......... but.....buy once a proper tool and you will soon forget the price, buy a cheap tool and you will beat yourself when you have to replace it because you have saved a couple of bucks. Absolutely from experience of 60+ years of hands on tool work.

This is a sign from the Lord. I’ve been readying myself to buy a T100 and now something to save on reveals itself!

Mine literally just got here haha it’s literally in my hands from the mailbox

I'm pretty sure the secure sq-001 is the same as the ts-100, a friend bought a secure, and I couldn't find any difference. I started with a soldering station, the Ts 100 is so much nicer to work with, fast heating, precision work.

Good choice 👌 👍 👏

I'm using it with baseus 65w powerbank but I have to use PD 20V trigger (cable or tc66c for example)

Just order for s(ec)ure! Thank you! Been searching for 2 weeks now, to much choice and so much biased opinions.. most of it is nonsens. But I trust you so better i'll get this one 😉 (ps i won't blame you if this one does work okay)

Nice thank you thats what I need

Thanks I think you just sold me. Was gonna get a cheapo but wanted something decent for keyboards and etc.

I like the Sequre SQ-001 it has the same look as the ts100

The price for this thing is so right. I love mine on 6s.

The firmware that you can flash is nice for leftys like me.

for about the same price, I prefer my Pinecil from pine64. pinecil has both usb-c & DC5525 port. allows you to use usb-c port to power from charger, or dc5525 port to connect to a battery. has robust os too. Ralim is active in the pine discord & listens to new features people want, tries to add them to new IronOs he shares freely with community. it's 25+ ship for pinecil & has OLED screen.

More important than the type of iron are the 3 C's rule of soldering: Clean. Clean. Clean. Clean the wire and surfaces either mechanically, or chemically, before soldering. Copper wire begins to oxidize as soon as it's manufactured. And continues to do so inside it's insulation, just slower in the absence of air. So always use a dab of liquid flux, even if you've just stripped the insulation, even if it's pre-tinned. A little goes a long way. No flux? Simply remove copper oxidation from a board or lug with a pencil eraser. Keep flux remover chemicals away from plastic! Even alcohol. Especially MEK.

No idea if you read comments on older videos but i recomend checking out the pine64 pinecil. Dare i say in some ways a straight upgrade for nearly a third of the price

I still want a TS100 but you are so right. Those cheap RadioShack or hardware store irons suck so bad! If you do ANY soldering what so ever, invest in a good one and get the job done right. This would be an excellent choice for someone just getting into the hobby. Spend the extra $5.00

SH72 is also great but doesn't have display or any indicator. But costs $12 and heats up very fast.

Get that custom firmware for your ts100 it has nice features

U r so right lol thanks for this video.

Absolutely fantastic inventions, the Sequre brands are fantastic, the ts-100 and ts-80 as well as the ksger and Sequre mss-12 are all fabulous. Wish they were around 20-25 yrs ago.!! Absolutely love them. The only portable soldering irons that were available back in the day were the butane powered irons..... I won't use anything else unless I need a very high wattage iron for a particular job.

Hello, How accurate is the led display temperature on the d60 ? 🤔

I bought a 7$ iron in aliexpress about 5 years ago, I have built around 6 quads with it, one of them was a 2000$ photography platform, I also use it for everything else , from arduino to diy projects, and is just fine. I use a high quality soldering wire. So as many other products in the hobby Ill never understand the aversion and criticism for cheap gadgets. I do use a nice black taranis x9d (because it looks more professional when I have to work) and a 40$ flysky that has been with me for 5 years, and again, havent had a single issue with it, and I use it 75% of the time compared to the x9d...

Low temp setting is for heat shrinking and fixing whoop frames!..

I cant heat up my Solding iron when I longpress the A-button, the LED says S-E when I longpress the A-button. Does anyone know how to fix that????

Do one on a good power Screwdriver!

This thing flies amazing on 6s

People say that it draws 1.37 amperes no matter of the power supply voltage. So it have about 33w max power. Could you please check It's power consumption at 24 volts?

do you have a video or someonewho could telll me how to put a split mini or turtle to a 2020stck?

If it's good enough for bardwell then it's perfect for me.

They are 29$ on RDQ thru Bardwell’s Link..

I wonder if you can use this with an ISDT 608 AC, with the DC power mode

My ts 100 crapped out. Any hack tips. Will get this one.

sold sir.

Would it be possible to run this soldering iron off a lipo charger, specifically the ISDT 608AC?

Recommendation for inexpensive soldering iron to repair crashed drone. Want bench top plug in US NOT portable, Recommendation?? Thx

ever since I've used my ts100 for the first time, I know I'm not going to go back to one of those thick soldering irons.

Is there a base stand that will work better than the tiny toy piece they include?

I want to buy and use a 1800mah 6S 22.4v battery like the one in video, to solder, can this be charged with a regular wall plug adaptor, say 9-12v 2 amp?

If you plug your lipo in, will it tell you when it's dead before you kill it?

A got electrict current about 10-11 volt in bolt of this solder (all of three bolt show this current, not only the tip). Is it normal or there is something with mine?

Laugh if you want, but for the amount of soldering I do I purchased one from the Dollar Store around 7 years ago and it works perfectly.

Someone once told me that the ISDT 608AC was the best first battery charger, he forgot to mention its power supply is perfect for powering these little irons. P.S. The SQ-001 also has a version of stock firmware that goes up to 450C.

Great video. The d100 sounds interesting but I just bought a T-100 for $54 a couple months ago. I wasn't aware that you can change the max temperature though. I think mine only goes to 300. How can I raise that?

Does it have a lipo cut-off?

Anyone able to use this D60 with a normal USB c dell laptop charger which is capable of outputting 20v 4.5 amps. USB c has functionality to tell the charger what output it can accept this does not seem to do that so you have to use the cord it comes with for lipo's external power supply....
