    Finely built mine today!! Love it and now my coworkers are going to order stuff to build some too. I opened out the little control box and drilled some hold to put nuts and bolts in then cut the wires inside putting some crimps inside with a ABC5 fuse and holder. Can't use that 24V plug now since I cut the wires to it but it is forever going to be on my M18 battery power. Love how fast it is and in the setting you can set auto off for low voltage, time delay off, and so many cool setting. Love this new tool 🥰🥰🥰

    Suggestion: use a dead m18 charger instead of the ebay adapter, this way you can flush mount the device into the charger, and have the soldering iron wire exit through the old a/c input hole.
    I intend to build one in that way. Thank you for the idea!

    With the above method it would be a good help. Hopefully someone can come out with solution to put an iron holder on top of the battery. Have the battery as the base.

    • @i.b.lancer
      @i.b.lancer  Год назад

      Agreed. I loved my M12 iron but they just kept melting on me because of that stupid plastic collar. After I went through about 3 of them in less then a year I came up with this idea. If I’m starting a big project I’ll just slap on a 9ah or a 12ah battery and the thing will run for days. I’m really happy with this set up.

    I would have avoided those cables that hang from the back and can get caught on anything. A hole through the middle of the adapter and through the bottom of the control unit box would elegantly solve the problem.
