Review on 🔥 Revolutionary NewHail Soldering: Pocket-Sized, Programmable & Original! by Jason Melvin

Professionally, I worked as a hand solderer in an electronics factory. I've been soldering for about 40 years. I have two soldering workhorses that I stumbled upon hoping to expand my soldering hardware. My base station is a Weller WE1010, which is pretty much the gold standard for soldering irons, and a Weller/Portasol butane soldering iron for when I need to get away from my desk. They both complete the tasks I give them without complaints or questions and I have found that I can fully rely on them to get the job done. I think that's a perfectly fair comparison as this soldering iron sits right between my Portasol and Weller. 1010 in terms of price, which is not far from them. I've tested this on the most routine job I usually do, simply removing a capacitor. I have a new NVR that I am customizing to add a few features and improve its long-term reliability. It came with the cheapest Chinese capacitors on board so I'm about to replace them all with Nichicons and 1 lone Panasonic. I was waiting for the last capacitor from good old Revain that ran at 100V 22uF after accidentally ordering the wrong capacitor (I ordered 100V 2.2uF sigh) as it was only 1 small capacitor would i give this iron an interview to see if it can take place at my workplace. So I grabbed my biggest external battery (a monster capable of powering laptops), pocketed it, and tinned my tip to see how good it was. Let's make it short, shall we? This iron lacks the physical bulk to perform tedious soldering. The reason it heats up so quickly is because there isn't enough metal to provide enough stored thermal energy to solder large items that take away a lot of heat. That doesn't mean it's useless, just that the usefulness is in a very narrow range. Small, very light soldering. I ended up switching to my weller to remove the capacitor because it just couldn't get the pads hot enough to keep them melted while I pulled the cap out. With my Weller, the process happened almost immediately, since he not only had great strength, but also great physical mass at the end. jobs. To be honest, I'd be more than willing to sacrifice "heat-up time" (which I don't really care about anyway) for an iron with about twice the amount of metal on the tip. I have a penchant for soldering equipment of any kind) it just doesn't have enough "power" for my needs. For you who want to power things with USB-C cables and do very light work with fine soldering, this could really be your iron. Can I recommend something from Team W for those of you who want to take on a tougher job?
