Brian Lough | TS100 Soldering Iron - My thoughts in 2020 (3 years of use) @BrianLough | Uploaded January 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
In this video we will take a look at the TS100 soldering iron which I have been using as my main iron for the last 2 and half years. I will explain what I like about it and go through a couple of things I needed to do to make it work for me.
I also answered some of the questions you had on twitter around the Iron.
