Good review. When getting them from Pine64 get their red pure silicone USB cable. It's very soft and won't melt if you touch the tip to it. Also, toss in a $1 pair of spare contacts for the Pinecil. Best to have a set around, than pay $15 shipping for them if you do need them.

Great video. They a such a decent iron for the money, hard to beat the deal for all the features
