TS101 Portable Soldering Iron
Heat up in 8 seconds, solder anywhere, charge from the same USB-C cable as your laptop. The TS101 is a portable soldering iron with an OLED display, adjustable temperature (100-400C), and interchangeable tips. It runs on USB-C PD or DC barrel jack, so a 65W laptop charger doubles as your power supply.
Project idea: Pack this with a solder spool and flux pen in a travel pouch for on-the-go kit builds, repair jobs, or soldering at the hackerspace.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the TS101 compare to the Pinecil V2?
Both are excellent USB-C portable irons in a similar price range. The TS101 heats slightly faster and has a wider tip selection. The Pinecil V2 has stronger open-source firmware community (IronOS) and RISC-V chip. Both accept USB-C PD power. Pick based on whether you value tip variety (TS101) or firmware hackability (Pinecil).
Can I use a USB-C phone charger to power the TS101?
Only if it supports USB-C PD (Power Delivery) at 20V or higher. A standard 5V phone charger will not provide enough power. A 45W or 65W PD charger (the kind that comes with modern laptops) is ideal. The iron's OLED display shows the input voltage so you can confirm.
