Excellent Storage for an Excellent Soldering Iron 

Necropost here, but yes, this case is amazing. I've been running one for a while now. They're great!!

Timely! I've been debating methods of storage for my pinecil and was thinking about using a small pencil case. Now I have another excuse for buying a 3D printer.

Brass Brillo pad is what I call it. All the aircraft electricians at work use pad and sponge, so that is what I do.

Love the iron. Haven’t slowed down long enough to print the case yet. Yours looks good 👍

We used to use empty typewriter spools for carrying solder and solder wick. Nice to see someone is thinking along the same lines.

Really a nice small kit TO, Now I see all the parts and where they go!

I use the bottom of a soda can with the top edge folded in to hold my brass wool for soldering. So far it keeps the table safe and hasn't damaged any of my soldering irons. If you have a lip on the spools like commercially made solder wick does it stays put a lot better.

Bought the Pinecil at your recommendation and I love it. I printed one of those cases before it even arrived and now I edc my soldering iron everyday!

Brilliant!

That is so cool!

Very cool kit.

Now if only they had a case for my Hakko FX951 station...

Yes! Exactly what I needed. Thanks 💪💪

That is cool! Thingiverse is so helpful. I will have a pinecil someday. Just need the iron im using now to break first

Oh hell yeah, I was looking for something like this for my Pinecil!

I love this kit! I might have to steal it.

Awesome too bad that some items are out of stock. Happy trails. 73 de KN6JHC

Great video, nice work tnx Man!

love that case ! can fit in a Pota kit. fix antenna on the fly. I have a few Hako soldering iron. like most I threw out the manual. when i needed a tip i got the wrong one. but fit my outher iron . the one I needed was T12 tips. when I talk it out had part number on side of it. should have looked first. my bad. the iron part is made buy Hako says right on it. but the base is battery to fit DeWalt 20V max battery. works the same as AC one. just battery operated. my outher one is Ryobi 18V one plus system one and the iron part is made buy Hako and takes the 888 tips. that what I ordered. I do have the Hako one like the pic you showed. I use the sponge for outher things. I use the wire wool brass pad you got but my case metal . looks like C3PO . girlfriend gave it that name. Hako makes a butane iron . no power needed . works great. love the Hako line of soldering stuff. I have same solder and 60/40 and whole bunch of different solder for different purpose. lots of flux and wick and Hako solder sucker .I do have Weller irons as well. mine from 1980 still works and can still get parts and tips. same Weller Fran lab uses . love that USB C one. I may get one for my Pota box .The ISO tip soldering iron has been around for years. I got a old one. not much heat but super for surface mount stuff. Chuck did a video on one. for small work that great. battery does not run long. love your antenna build with that Iron and kit box. do a Pota with that antenna . my friend Mike in NY did . he loves it. waiting on the QRO one. 73's

I printed a similar case a bit ago, but I don't use my Pinecil all that often. The case works great to keep everything together in one of my radio boxes. I noticed you were doing far more videos from the camper, but when did you go fulltime?

TO! Nice share. Thanks! 73 de Bill

The wet sponge is not for the soldering iron, it’s to cool down your finger when you burn it. 😮

Keester....er, Kester is the right choice. Brass wool was never the right choice; we used wet sponges. Technicians, engineers, everybody. Sorry, son.
