For those who don't like the rolling temp number animation on the HS-02 if you update the firmware to 1.7 you can disable it. Look for "Rolling" in the system section. By default it is ON, just set it to OFF.
They give you many cartridges... The truth is that you only need one, or two cartridges, but very good quality ones, not the crappy ones that they give you almost for free!
Hi, well in my case it hanged in there firmly. Maybe with normal usage it might get loose, but for that I have to use it a lot more than this test for the review 😁 The HS-01 will always be secure IF when installing a new tip, the instruction are correctly followed. Let me explain, the FNIRSI tip has a kind of ring that will secure the tip with a screw thingy that you have to use, so first you unscrew the retention part, put the tip and then screw again that retention part over the tip and that ringy thing, if you do this correctly, not even with a plier you can take it out. Thanks for watching.
Its too bad you didn't test the USB power plug for volts/amp test, lots of time they sell a 100W USB when if you test it, its more like 20W. If that is the case, the slow heat-up time or 10seconds should be more like 4 seconds if you used a different power supply. That's what I'm thinking. Not enough amps.
Hi Jeff, It's not on the video, it was me playing around, but I tested with the 65W delivered with the HS-01 and connected also to my Rigol DP831 power supply 20V/3A and no difference. Now that you talk about it, it will be a neat thing to have on the video, sorry for this fail. Thanks for watching.
Hi, if for battteries you mean a power bank, yes you can. It works great with my 20000mAh hour power supply. Just see the output amps. You can use also those batteries for RC, they work great also. Thanks for watching.
I read on Reddit that the A use 245 tips and B uses 210. I wish FNIRSI made it clearer. It's my understanding that 245s are general purpose and 210s are for finer work.
@@iblackfeathers thank you so much I really do mean that.. For like soldering wires for drones battery what one would you say would be more suited please
Hi, the T245 should be enough for that kind of work. T245 is more for the everyday work, while T210 is more dedicated to soldering very small components and only an example, can be used to solder 0402 smd components. Thanks for watching.
@iblackfeathers Thank you for clearing that out. I did ask to FNIRSI, but the answer was related with the tips (they're right) but sent me a photo of the tips head like the K, KU, I, B, C2, and so on, but didn't clarify that we had a different model of tips. So glad you were able to clarify this. It was my initial suspicion, for different T245 tips you'll don't need a different solder iron model. Thanks for watching.
It's a pretty lame soldering iron. Where're the 65W? Even a very cheap Quicko T75 performs better and has no stupid animation- due to a missing display ;-). (edited: typo) Second edit: It performed very well in the “SDG Electronics” test. Apparently there is a problem with your setup or copy.
Hi, lame is a bit harsh and I think Quicko T75 uses the T12 tips, on the same tips the HS-01 has very nice performance. If I have something to point out, is just the time it takes to get to the temperature, it is accurate, but take a bit more than I was expecting. Thanks for watching.
@@TechCornerTV Sorry, but something was very wrong with your setup. Either the USB tester causes some issues, the power supply, USB cable or the iron you received itself is screwed. Take a look at SDG Electronics review and peak power draw. With a known good supply he measured up to 80W on high thermal demand boards and the coin test.
I did a direct comparison with the HS02 and KSGER T12 and found they both performed the same in real life usage on a TCON board which has heavy ground planes

Did i miss something - where i have to put in sim card?
Hi, where do you saw that? Sorry for this late reply, catching up with the comments. Thanks for watching.
why you didn't test the maximum temperature?
What one would you recommend hs01 or hs02
is the tip held firmly within the iron? heard the hs01 does not hold the tip firmly and can come loose with little force

@@TechCornerTV did u change the power limit (12:45) from 14%?
Ciao un'informazione ma posso usare anche batterie oltre alimentatore? Grazie

What’s the difference between the HS-02A and HS-02B?
HI, found out that after the video, FNIRSI is nor very clear on this, but model B uses 245 and model A uses the 210 tips. Thanks for watching.
@@TechCornerTV Is that correct?
Isn't model a c245 tip?
I read on Reddit that the A use 245 tips and B uses 210. I wish FNIRSI made it clearer. It's my understanding that 245s are general purpose and 210s are for finer work.
Is the link right? It refers to the HS-01 not the HS-02
Hi, it was wrong! Thanks so much for the heads up, I screw up on that, and thanks also for watching.
Would ypu recommend hs02 version A or version B as hs02 has two versions
a has c245 tips - for larger soldering jobs.
b has c210 tips - for smaller components.
@@iblackfeathers thank you so much I really do mean that..

With some luck you can find a station supports C210 and C245 for a very low price (Yahua 982 for example, not the 982-II). But's it is not a portable.
Software seems to overshoot and then undershoot. Power full power to long and overshoot again and on repeat.
Come on people it's 2024: why don't we have battery powered lightsabers? And flying cars? 😮😢
Hi, ehehehe.... totally agree 😁 thanks for watching!
😂Someone already mentioned that in 2000. You will see this topic in 20 years again.

i believe the power limit was 13% when he first turned it on, perhaps that's the issue?
it's a 100w iron and it was drawing about 16w during the test, which is consistent with the power limit being set wrong
