A huge improvement over cheap irons for a reasonable cost
I got this to replace a non-temperature controllable 40W soldering iron that broke (and was never any good to begin with). As someone that doesn't solder very often and thus is not super experienced, I wanted a product that felt safe and premium to use - and this product delivers very well. The actual size of the iron is surprisingly small, which I find to be useful for the precision electronics soldering work that I do, and is more reassuring because theres less opportunity to bump into a massive hot end. When plugged into a USB C cable supplying 15v it heats up in just a few seconds which was very impressive coming from my other iron. I use a kitchen sponge with the textured side to gently clean the tip of the iron since I don't have any steel wool or the like and after the iron has cooled down I just use the original box it came in as a storage case. The UI is tolerable and I definitely recommend reading the included manual before starting the heating on the iron - you can safely plug it in and it won't start heating until you press the + button. I had to do some trial and error with the temperature since it was my first time using a temp. controllable iron and I found around 285 - 295C worked very well with my 40% leaded solder. The only thing I wish there was was a quick button to disable heating without unplugging the iron or relying on the motion-detecting standby mode, but being careful and quickly unplugging + replugging the iron to stop heating and still get a temperature readout is acceptable for me. Overall, for the price, I'm extremely satisfied because my old iron was impossible to use (too hot for leaded solder) when it was working, and quite literally impossible to use after it broke after mild use - I expect the Pinecil to last a long time. ... show more

The very best soldering Iron I've ever had.
I've had countless soldering irons over the years and hilariously enough preferred the super cheap old school soldering irons that I used back in electronics class in school because they just worked. I was never able to find a soldering iron that worked as well as those ones until I got this soldering iron. It heats up insanely quickly and is lightweight for those long repair jobs that you're holding it a long time. This soldering iron easily solders anything I ask it to in a hurry rather than having to wait ages for the solder to feel like melting. It fits nice in my hand unlike all the other's I've had that were very bulky from integrated leds and fluff like that. This one does have some bells and whistles but they don't get in your way like the others and their implementation is well thought out and reliable. If you're looking for a lightweight soldering iron that can fit in your pocket (with a small battery bank to power it of course) then you really can't go wrong with this one. ... show more

Tiny Yet Mighty
I picked up the PINECIL Smart Mini Portable Soldering Iron about three years ago, and it’s still going strong! I got it so I could precisely control the temperature of my tip while soldering wires to 18650 cells, and it has performed flawlessly. What really impressed me is its size — it’s much smaller than other soldering irons, so I can easily reach tight nooks and crannies. I bought extra tips for other types of soldering work, and they fit perfectly, so there must be some kind of standard tip design. The PINECIL can be powered by almost anything. It works with USB-C, barrel connectors, wall adapters, or even batteries — voltage doesn’t seem to matter. I haven’t used it with a battery personally, but the versatility is impressive. Its small size also lets it heat up incredibly fast — it goes from room temperature to 400°C in about 10 seconds. The OLED screen has a ton of controls and makes switching temperatures simple and precise. It even has a motion-sensor sleep mode, which is a lifesaver for me because I tend to leave my soldering iron plugged in. It automatically wakes up as soon as you pick it up, which is super convenient. Overall, this is an amazing little soldering iron — compact, fast, versatile, and reliable. I’d highly recommend it for anyone who wants a high-performance portable soldering tool. ... show more

Genuinely Impressed
I was confused when such a small box showed up and even thought I may have ordered the wrong thing at first. The box is frighteningly small. Take the thing out of the box and get more nervous. Surely theres no friggen way that it works as well or better than my bench station. You have to pay attention to the type of usb brick you use. If its below a certain voltage it won't power the pen enough to heat up, but it WILL turn the screen on. It knows if the tip isn't screwed in, and wont start if its not. The claims in the comments are not lying either; this thing heats up in less than 10 seconds. I DO wish that it was able to hold a charge without thec cable, but as long as you have a power bank thats appropriately rated, that doesn't really matter much. Overall though, I'm kind of blown away that this thing works as well as it does for the price point. If you need a nice little iron in a small form, I'd pull the trigger. ... show more

Great quality iron for a hobbyist
This iron is excellent! I've only ever owned the no-name irons with tips that get gross almost instantly and never seem to hold a consistent temp, so this is a huge upgrade. I've only used it on a few things, but it's been fantastic so far. For my uses, I've used it to desolder a couple of small wires from PCB, then resolder them with no issues, repair a headphone jack with new solder joints, and fix a guitar jack. When paired with a quality power supply, good solder, and a brass sponge, it works extremely well. It heats up within seconds - it's advertised to get to operating temp in 12, but it seems to be even faster in my experience. Crazy! It also holds a very consistent temperature, and if there are any fluctuations, you see it right on the display. It's comfortable to hold and even looks nice! The tip seems well constructed and it's a good size with a narrow end to get into tight spots. It would be nice if it came with some extras, but I suspect it'll last a while with the right care. I do wish it also came with a bag or case, since having it loose in a drawer isn't ideal. A recommendation or an optional power supply to add on would be great, as well. Just make sure you do some careful shopping and grab one that can output the higher end of what it's able to take. I actually didn't think to buy one and I made it work with a USB-C Macbook charger, and it worked really well so I've had no reason to buy another. Take a look at what you've got lying around and see if it'll work before placing another order. Overall, I highly recommend this iron if you're a hobbyist or enthusiast and just need something simple, effective, and well-made. I did a lot of research and this one kept coming up as the highest recommended cheap iron, and I definitely understand why! ... show more

Good Iron, but Tip Died After a Month
This is a very good soldering iron. That being said, I must have gotten a bad quality tip because about a month into using it, it died. The iron wouldn't recognize the tip anymore. I tested it and determined that the tip had failed internally. If you buy this (which I highly suggest) please grab a couple replacement tips too. ... show more

Heats quick and holds temperature well. The short tip is nice. usb-c power is very convenient.
Good power. Good temperature control. Highly portable. Inexpensive. The Pinecil v2 tip is shorter than those used with v1 and ts100. It also has lower resistance and heats up a little quicker. I like the shorter tip, but it's also nice that the Pinecil v2 can auto-detect and use the longer tips. Although the longer tips work well, I wish the shorter 6.5 ohm tips were more available. I haven't found them on Amazon yet, but Pine64 and some of its affiliates have them. Having both usb-c and dc barrel connector options for power is nice. I found an inexpensive but good usb-c 65w charger and a silicone usb-c cable that work well for power. I also have a lithium 22v battery pack that I use to power it via the barrel connector. (15v and 19v packs can work too.) Many old laptop chargers put out 18-24v at decent amperage and have the right connector, so they also work, although the cords on them can be a bit stiff and unwieldy. The firmware that came with it seems good and allows setting and adjusting tip temperatures, standby and idle parameters, and some power and UI options. The hardware is capable of BLE, though SW support for that seems limited for now. The SW is open source and under active development, so maybe we'll see a BLE android app for monitoring temps and managing settings and such from a phone. But it's good even without that. Yes, I would buy this again. Yes, I recommend this product. ... show more
