    $1 and here it
  • 00:01:06
    is I have it I don't
  • 00:01:09
    know maybe couple of months but I have I
  • 00:01:13
    I have never had a time to test it and I
  • 00:01:17
    lost the USB cable also but I'm going to
  • 00:01:21
    figure out a way to power
  • 00:01:25
    on the heat heater is replaceable as I
  • 00:01:29
    said
  • 00:01:31
    and it says here 5 volt 8 watts USB
  • 00:01:36
    soldering iron and have only
  • 00:01:39
    one tucked switch for turning on and
  • 00:01:45
    off I found this 3.5 mm adapter jack and
  • 00:01:50
    hook up my alligator clips that are
  • 00:01:53
    connected to the digital power supply
  • 00:01:55
    that give 5
  • 00:01:57
    volts and fit fit perfectly
  • 00:02:03
    okay let's
  • 00:02:06
    power yep almost 900
  • 00:02:11
    milliamp but I'm going to measure the
  • 00:02:16
    time when the iron is ready for
  • 00:02:24
    soldering start
  • 00:02:30
    okay 5
  • 00:02:34
    Seconds nothing
  • 00:02:37
    happens 900 milliamp at 5 volts that is
  • 00:02:45
    0.9 Time 5 volts turn out
  • 00:02:50
    4.5
  • 00:02:53
    watts and it's melting the
  • 00:02:55
    in at 30
  • 00:02:58
    seconds in in 30 seconds the iron is
  • 00:03:06
    ready turning
  • 00:03:08
    on and here I have my digital
  • 00:03:12
    multimeter that have option to
  • 00:03:16
    measure deges or the temperature with
  • 00:03:20
    this type K
  • 00:03:23
    sensor and I'm going to W turn it off
  • 00:03:33
    I'm going to measure the temperature of
  • 00:03:35
    the soldering iron
  • 00:03:45
    tip
  • 00:03:55
    220° 250
  • 00:04:06
    270 what is the
  • 00:04:13
    maximum steel is pulling 960 milliamp at
  • 00:04:18
    5
  • 00:04:22
    volts
  • 00:04:24
    300° this is nice and this is good good
  • 00:04:27
    sign
  • 00:04:56
    320 33435
  • 00:05:00
    and it's rising
  • 00:05:16
    340 yes that is the maximum
  • 00:05:19
    340 and
  • 00:05:21
    something
  • 00:05:23
    okay the next test is to
  • 00:05:26
    solder these two wires
  • 00:05:30
    to connect them
  • 00:05:33
    together and let's try
  • 00:05:35
    it I think will will be
  • 00:05:38
    difficult but I need to try
  • 00:05:42
    it look the soldering team is stuck on
  • 00:05:46
    the wires it can be melt
  • 00:06:00
    I'm going to wait 10 seconds
  • 00:06:03
    more and see what will
  • 00:06:17
    happen this is
  • 00:06:20
    bad it's
  • 00:06:22
    stuck on the
  • 00:06:24
    wires can melt big point of soldering
  • 00:06:29
    tin
  • 00:06:34
    this is
  • 00:06:36
    Disappointment I'm
  • 00:06:44
    disappointed not
  • 00:06:46
    good for big wires like this this
  • 00:06:51
    soldering iron is a
  • 00:06:57
    fail for small wires like this maybe
  • 00:07:02
    it's
  • 00:07:03
    good yes you can see that that is good
  • 00:07:08
    but for bigger wires copper
  • 00:07:11
    wires this soldering iron not good 14
  • 00:07:16
    wires
  • 00:07:17
    yes let's try to desolder one of these
  • 00:07:21
    electronic
  • 00:07:24
    components let's sell this electrolytic
  • 00:07:26
    capacitor
  • 00:07:50
    yes I did
  • 00:07:53
    it
  • 00:07:55
    I this soer
  • 00:07:58
    are elect litic capacitor which is good
  • 00:08:02
    from the PCV
  • 00:08:13
    board yes I did it
  • 00:08:16
    again okay that is good
  • 00:08:34
    nope it can hit so much
  • 00:08:39
    copper not
  • 00:08:49
    working nope doesn't work
  • 00:09:02
    so what I think about this soldering
  • 00:09:05
    iron it's for mro Job or micro wires or
  • 00:09:10
    micro electronic
  • 00:09:11
    components otherwise
  • 00:09:15
    no this doesn't worth nothing
  • 00:09:21
    n this
  • 00:09:24
    is I can say
  • 00:09:27
    garbage okay that's all for today video
  • 00:09:31
    and
  • 00:09:32
    presenting the cheapest soldering
  • 00:09:35
    iron that doesn't work very
  • 00:09:40
    well okay maybe for micro wires maybe
  • 00:09:47
    okay please give a like share and
  • 00:09:50
    subscribe to my channel see
  • 00:09:55
