Portable Solding Iron: Powering Pinecil with M18 Batteries

Posted: 2024-02-29

Supplies:

Last year I was gifted a Pinecil Soldering Iron. This is the best soldering iron I have ever owned. Super light weight, easy to handle and gets up to temperature extremely quickly.

I don't solder very often so I don't have a dedicated soldering station. Often it's easier to bring the soldering iron to the work, rather than the other way around.

I don't think the M18 Power Source puts out enough juice to power the Pinecil to the full capacity. However, the couple of times I used it, the Pinecil got to a high enough temperature for my work.

A simple, but extremely useful project!
