I've got 2 irons but hadn't thought about using them at the same time. Brilliant
Hi . Thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I'm glad you found the video useful . I've been doing this method for years now , even though I have hot air rework stations etc . I love how this really makes some rework so simple with no danger to other components ( that hot air can do ). All the people I've shown in the past just love this to so I'm sure it will help you . Thanks again and good luck with all your projects 👍
Best viewing angles I have ever seen in any soldering video. And a very good alternative to hot tweezers. Thanks for uploading.
Hi . Thank you for your comment , glad you enjoyed the video . Since this video I've managed to get some other great angles and now have my editing a bit better as well i.e the music and my voice are now the same volume. I try and get better every upload I do . I will put more soldering videos up when I can . Thanks again 👍
Incredible :) you augmented my skills by 300% jut by seeing your tips in action !
Hi . Thank you for your support . This 2 soldering iron method is genius . It's the one tip I try to give everyone wherever I work . People who didn't know it love it once they have tried it . It is so simple and really effective . I have rework stations etc but I still do this method on countless occasions every year. Thanks again , glad you found it useful. 👍
Why did I never thought of using another iron! So dumb. Thanks for the idea!!
Hi . Glad you found the video of use , thank you for watching 👍
it works like a charm , it reminded me : I work on (acoustical ) pianos and we have to do some very slow and precise motions with the keys , in order to make good regulation. It is a known trick that we have better control with 2 hands than one (2 fingers one of each hand in that case) WOrking with 2 irons is fast and way easier to manage than I thought ; great lesson ! thank you
Great work!
Hi , thank you. 2 irons was one of the best things I ever learned years ago . It's so simple and can make some rework so easy . Thanks again for your support 👍
I've used this method to desolder 12AWG silicone wires from a 3d printer's hotbed that needed a lot more heat than the 400c of the TS100. For SMDs, this looks very effective, great for when you're doing small jobs. If you have to do this often, it's best to get some hot tweezers I think. I just ordered a pair, because they looked very easy to use and efficient.
Hi thank you for watching the video , much appreciated. I love this 2 iron method and find it much more flexible than soldering tweezers which personally I never really liked , but I guess you choose what you get on with best . Thanks again , take care 👍
Thank you!
Hi , no problem . I'm glad you found the video enjoyable. This is a method that I personally have used so much over the years and it really is great . I have hot air rework stations etc but there's times when this method is a lot easier , plus your not risking damaging the surrounding areas. Thanks again 👍
What a powerful hands you've got.
Hi . Thank you for watching , hope you enjoyed the video 👍
Sensacional as suas dicas, muito obrigado por passar conhecimento.
Hi , thank you for your support of my channel and your kind words . I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
I will post some more videos when I get some time , take care and good luck with all of your soldering projects 👍
Simply amazing...Like using low melt solder..You are a genius mate 😎😎👌👌🤘🤘😁😁
Hi , thank you for your support , much appreciated . I use 2 irons for loads of soldering jobs ( more useful than a pair of soldering tweezers ) so hopefully the video has been useful for you . Thanks again , good luck 👍
informative video, I have a rework station, to bad it doesn't include a second plug for another one, O well I will have to get me a stand alone one just in case. thankyou again. God Bless
Hi , thank you. I love using 2 soldering irons , I have a really good branded hot air rework station but there are times when 2 soldering irons are just so much better and you don't risk any of the surrounding components i.e plastic connectors potentially melting . I know you can protect your nearby components but why bother if you don't need to . Just do it the easy way , this really is a genius method and perfectly safe if done correctly 👍
Oh this is nice motivation for me to finish building myself a T12 soldering station or consider getting hot air with a 936 soldering station integrated since it basically doesn't add to cost. So far i'm using a Zhongdi 929c that is over 20 years old that i inherited, i don't hate it, the temperature regulation is spot on and it has oodles of power, the only things i don't like is that only 4 tips exist for it (annoying blunt cone, nice hoof, nice 2.4mm chisel blade, and nice sharp cone) so no hook tip, no knife tip. But you can still buy original high quality replacements, which is better than it could have been.
This is pure art, Sir. Great work.
Have you made, by any chance, a video on cleaning/prepping pads for 8pin eeprom replacement? I would like to know how to 'correctly' use wick.
Hi . Thank you for your comment . I haven't actually made a video on cleaning / prepping pads using solder braid/wick. Ive had a couple of people suggest this so I think I will do one shortly as it will be pretty useful for some people. Thank you again , your time is much appreciated 👍
Duel wield irons 👍👍
Hi. Thank you for your comment and for watching the video , much appreciated 👍
Thanks 😊 i wish if you make vedio about your mentanece tools...like Flux/soldering tips/tweezers/solder marks. ..etc
Hi . I think I've mentioned my tools , soldering tips etc in a RUclips video I posted called how to improve your soldering . Definitely my tools are all mentioned at the end of that video . I've also done a video all about the flux I use and another video all about cleaning fluids etc . Thanks for watching 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 😊 thanks
I have got the tips 😉
Thank you for your video. What about using tweezers instead of two irons? Would it be same?
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. Soldering tweezers are limited by width restrictions whereas 2 irons is unlimited . You can manoeuvre the irons much easier than your regimented tweezers . Personally always preferred the irons over the tweezers . Thanks again 👍
Good content. Really like te vids. One little thing is bothering me. I listen on headphenes and the diference in volume between voice and music is huge. I have to turn half down the volume vhen music starts. Exept that I really enjoy the videos. Great work.
Hi . Thank you for your comment , much appreciated . I do all my video recordings using my phone so obviously using the phone microphone. The music is added after via an app. I know it's louder but don't think I can do anything about this small problem . Sorry . Thanks again 👍
Looks great, but unfortunately I haven't got a second solder((
Hi . Yeah I guess that might be a slight problem , but if you ever do get a second iron you will love this method . Thank you for watching, much appreciated 👍
1:20 I may have an even easier method:-)
You start by bending a piece of copper wire so it touches both sides of the chip, then do you wound the other end around your soldering iron. Now, do you have the soldering iron in one hand and the tweezers in the other hand, place the copper wire on all the legs of the chip and remove the chip with the tweezers.
Hi . This is why I love soldering , listening to lots of different methods people use and then selecting the one you like the best . You can never know everything . Thanks for your comment 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 I do really like you. You seem like a fantastic guy. Thanks for being like this and for sharing your wast knowledge!! :-)
Hi . No problem 👍
Off to buy a second iron now... :D
Hi . Definitely one of the best bits of advice I could give you would be to get a second soldering iron . I have a full hot air rework station but I still prefer using 2 irons where I can as I just think it's so easy as the video clearly shows in some soldering situations.
@@mrsolderfix3996 Yep, watching how much easier it makes removing components it makes perfect sense. I've not had to remove many SMD parts yet, but the ones I did I was trying to go from one side to another.. it just takes so long, and I end up feeling I need to rush to remove the part when it floats and that risks damaging it or the pads.
Hi . This is what most people do , go from side to side ( I used to years ago ) and as most people won't have a rework station , a second iron is a great alternative.
Thank you so much, exactly what I want to do , I have a 6802B alimentation CI that I want to test without harming around, and I am not mastering hot air so well . I find a solder SMDSW from chipquik that seem to be good to melt old solder , not very expensive as their chipquik "original" kit, it melt at a lower temp than usual lead/tin wire. (-it is a 63/37 2.2%flux)
I am amazed that you file your tips without harming them, may be because they are ,good quality, with real copper under the tinned surface ? I did have trouble reworking the shape of cheap tips and I dont know if the ones of the Miniware TS100 will accept the work
Best regards congrats again for your vids !
Hi . Yes my solder tips for my Weller soldering iron do have a thick copper layer under the outer surface so I can bend and file them into the shape that I need . I don't buy really cheap soldering irons because the stuff I need to do wouldn't be possible with these cheaper irons.
A good iron will last so much longer and has a wider range of solder tips for it and this will enable you to do more varieties of soldering techniques so in my opinion it's worth the cost 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 I have some excuses as a beginner ;) Thanks for the advice, I agree indeed . At the moment out of the source problem (wich I noticed I inverted polarity , now it works really nice) the ts100 is providing a lot of tips, and apparently the ones that use it are happy 2 or 3 years later. I noticed, after seen it done on vid, that brushing the tip with a brass pen brush is very efficient.. I see the copper under the surface so I believe my tips react normally with tinning paste. I will consider better equipment when I will be in trouble ( more ;) )
@@mrsolderfix3996 would you use the thin Weller irons (the ones intended for SMD), or a more regular one with a thin tip ? (I am thinking heat inertia.) ? Best -sorry for the many questions !
Hi Mr. SolderFix, very nice technique s from you. I used to work for JVC in the 80's, replacing multipin surface mount ICs, sometime 120 pin IC. Now my eyes are not too good anymore. Now I need "new eyes". .Can you please tell me which type of camerss are you using to make those nice videos? Thank you!!!
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. I simply use a phone camera with a macro lens attached to it . Nothing special at all but it does seem to work quite well . I do not own a microscope camera . Hope that helps, thanks again , take care 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Thank you
Can I ask what irons you use and at what temperature, what would you recommend to someone new to the hobby
Hi . I use WELLER TCP S soldering irons . They are great irons , not the cheapest (because you have to buy the power supply unit separately that they plug into), but the variety of tips for them is amazing and that what makes them my favourite irons that I've ever used. They are not adjustable temp wise and are set at roughly 340 -350 degrees C but they can do anything . All my video's I use these irons. I wont use any others. Weller are my favourite brand of iron and they do loads of different ones so you could get a cheaper one of you wanted.
You can buy an iron for £15 but it will come with a giant tip and that's it so I wouldn't recommend a really cheap one.
Places like Farnell or RS Components sell loads of irons so check them out , they are the best 2 companies for this industry. Finally the solder you use is REALLY important. Most hobbyists would use 0.7mm but this makes it hard for surface mount fine components. I normally use 0.5mm for large joints or 0.25mm for fine components or joints . Company called BLT Circuits is best for solders. Hope that helps . Thank you for watching👍
What do you think about using soldering tweezers instead of 2 irons? I currently use a Hakko 888D, and I'm wondering whether it's worth spending £120 on the FX8804 tweezers, or using your technique I could just use my cheap Chinese T12 for the second iron. Thing is, you're obviously ambidextrous, whereas I'm useless with my left hand, tweezers would keep all the action in the right hand, any thoughts?
Hi . Thank you for your comment . I've never personally used soldering tweezers as I've always found 2 soldering irons to be a great easy and flexible method that can do any size components. I've seen the soldering tweezers , and I know some people get on well with them so I would never rule anyone out of getting a pair. At the end of the day I have an option that works for me so I don't need to get any . Sorry I couldn't really give you a definite answer . Thanks again 👍
I just bought a second soldering iron. I blame you, hehe. :-)
Hi . Thank you for your comment , much appreciated . You will love having 2 irons for soldering rework etc but will also help in other soldering situations as well . It's the best tip I have ever told people I've worked with and they all love it now . Thanks again , good luck with your projects 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 You are so correct. I have one of those cheap chinese T12-942 OLED stations already with a bunch of tips, so getting another station was also very affordable (just $32 today, complete with PSU and free shipping) and gives me a lot of flexibility going forward. Previously I was looking for hot tweezers for this station, but this is not available. Seeing how you work with two irons, I believe that is actually much better than hot tweezers as you can manipulate the parts exactly how you like, turn them around, push and rotate them, etc. so this was really an excellent video which opened my eyes. Also having two stations can save me from changing tips all the time. Thanks!
Very very professional :)
what is the name of the microscope?
Hi . Thank you for watching. The type of microscope I generally use is a long reach stereo microscope . This type of scope has a long arm on it so you can work on very large PCB's without any problem. It comes with a boom stand and is 100% stable at all times. I used a company in England called GT Vision to get mine , but they are widely available and do vary a lot in price . Hope that helps 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Would you consider proposing a long arm stand to someone which is not earning money with soldering ? I was lucky to find for a very low price a very professional binocular Euromex (very clean and large view, the top of the grade, swf eye pieces ;) ) but the stand does not allow a long distance something about 20 cm . I was considering those flexible stands that one cans screw on the bench or attach on the side ,, but did not find them on site
Tested this method today(16/11) ..it works like a charm....do you think it is a good method even for smd components ??
Hi , thank you for your support , much appreciated . I use this method for all sorts of smd components . I have a great hot air rework station but if I can I sometimes choose to use the 2 soldering iron method so as to not put unnecessary heat through other parts of the board . Also if done correctly the 2 iron method is very safe and will not damage the components being removed . I love this method . Thanks again and good luck with your projects 👍
Subbed. This is how a RUclips channel is supposed to be. No stupid storytelling like the Americans.
Hi . Thank you for your comment . Hopefully people enjoy the videos , and can maybe learn something from them . Thanks for subscribing , much appreciated 👍
great, what kind of soldering station do you use and what temperature did you work at?
Hi . Thank you for your question . I have both my irons set to 340 ° and I always use Weller TCP S soldering irons which I just find great for all sorts of soldering. . Absolutely no damage occurs to components at these levels if rework is carried out correctly , so to me this is a great easy solution for rework issues. Hope this helps you , thanks again🙂
@@mrsolderfix3996 yes I noticed you are doing your job very nicely
@@mrsolderfix3996 thanks
Hi . Thank you . Much appreciated 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 something I am wondering, with the small very fast heating TS100 , is thet the heat inertia is due to the choosen tip , indeed (those tips have the heating element joined) but may be the capabilities of the alimentation can make the iron less effective. I use 24V from a "cheap" bench alim, supposedly going up to 30A , but first no amps showup on the display unless I put the iron at its max 480 ° and even then it only shows up a little then goes back to zero. it works much better with the Ridden 180 and its 60V source, but I am reluctant to use a bench alim all day long. I had good results with a basic universal alimentation for laptops , possibly allowing the drawn of more amps ? is it logical ? Best regards
Pretty good technique if you have another iron laying around. I would have tried to take a solder sucker and remove one side at at time or heat gun, but it would have been more of a pain and take longer.
Hi . I personally never use solder suckers as I just don't rate them . If I need to remove some solder I use solder wick which I much prefer . 2 irons is a great quick ,safe method . I have a hot air rework station but again can take time because you have to protect any plastic parts nearby and parts get blown off. Also some parts i.e LED's can't be done with a hot air gun . These are just my thoughts so I guess people will always choose their favourite method , but I've shown this method to a lot of people and they love it. Thanks for your comment , much appreciated 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 Funny thing is that i also tested wick to desolder on used light bulb pcb, but i ended up ripping pads, even if i applied flux on it and augmented the heat of my iron to 325-350, sometimes it stuck. it's hard to get it off without damaging anything, and sometimes didn't work at all and i end up damaging the pads. That's why i prefer solder sucker, there's no risk to damage pads, and the big blue ones work fairly well.
Hi . I guess we prefer different solutions which I always say to people use what your comftable with . It's like , I have never taken pads off using solder wick so I will always use that option . But overall , 2 irons beats all these methods for speed and ease of rework.Thanks for your comments 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 HI, what I understood is that one have to always use enough heat, no 'pressure' and so the pads stay on the board. I noticed that the pads do come if the tin is not melted enough of course
Resistors are not polarised, why worry about inverting them
Hi , some of the high spec places I've worked preferred if possible components placed so they read all the same way . Makes an inspectors life much easier . Doesn't take any longer to place them all the same way but if you have a problem and need to inspect your board you can read it all easily without having to keep turning it around .Thanks for your comment 👍
