I did confirm with Newbeedrone that the soldering iron is tempeature-controlled. And they say they will be including a prop tool with the kit, but it didn't get included in the reviewer kit because they were still sourcing it at the time the reviewer kits went out.
@@nxls8667 I use a TS100 as my only soldering iron. I have a stand alone Hakko soldering station that I never used since getting the TS100. The TS100 performs better (on 24V / 6S lipo) and I like that I don't have a big station taking up space on the bench.
Hollow handle metal hex drivers are good for putting your soldering iron in after you've just turned it off but don't want to wait for it to cool down before packing it up. The hex driver's handle will soak up & disperse the heat still in the iron nicely without burning/melting anything, so long as the iron doesn't fall out.
@Helper Bee I also tested powering my TS100 to 300C whilst it's sat in the handle of a hex driver, the handle got to around 50-60C, so if you stick it in the ground it could be used as a makeshit field holder, then after just leave it there with the iron in to cool down. I created a better solution for storing solder, spools that sit in empty Tic Tac boxes: www.thingiverse.com/search?q=tic+tac+solder+dispenser
... and I went through all your videos 2 days ago for soldering irons and tools, and ordered everything already.. Damn it Mr Bardwell! But I learned something today too ❤️
You could also grind down the tip of that 8 mm wrench to make it a lot thinner which is what we do at work to adjust our brakes on our AC servo drive motors!
It's a really great toolkit. I've used mine several times in the field as well as on the bench & can confirm that the soldering iron is really good. No trouble using 3S LiPos to power it; works well. NewBeeDrone also sells an AC adaptor for it, too. 👍🏼
I have been slowly building my collection of build tools. I have spent over $50 buying what I need from different places and I still need true hex drivers. This kit is absolutely a good deal and Newbeedrone has really been impressing me with trying to bring quality, value and thoughtfulness to the customer.
Agreed. Picked one up when they first came out. As you go on to explain, as well, I add a prop socket wrench, small Philips screw driver, some small assorted various sized accessories...and amazingly it all fits in their wonderful case.
I disagree, That little screwdriver is THE BEST addition, considering NBD's best known for their Bee Brain Whoop lineup, that makes it the most used part of my kit. It's also perfect for hitting bind buttons on boards and DJI stuff. Also, the NBD staff told me that little green guy is an antenna buddy, he lives on your antenna.
@@rijal71469 I've seen some stores where shipping is like $50! I didn't even check in this case. I Actually have most of the things in it but I like that you can put all this into a case and take it out when flying, instead of putting it all into a random box (and you can't take a soldering station with you lol)
Just had mine arrive. Were out of prop tools need to place another order and will recieve it with the order... too bad this was the only thing I needed from their shop
nice, ive been flying pretty hard lately and keep break or making stuff or making things come loose in the field, having a little poach that has everything in i need sounds pretty appealing
I like my toolkit from Pyrodrone. It doesn't include the cheapy soldering iron and accessories, but does include a prop nut driver and its 20$. Quality tools.
I actually love the little phillips screwdriver, in addition to tiny whoops being almost entirely tiny phillips (it is NBD after all) its also super annoying when something like the camera back screws or some little thing comes loose and you can never get it to work with the normal size bit.
I bought this kit the other day after watching this vid. Great kit.. soldering iron was really fantastic.. for 3 days.. and now it struggles to melt even thin solder. Sigh. Hoping they will replace, but im wary of its durability now.
50ml spray bottle filled with water, cleaning cloth & kitchen towel sheets in a Ziplock bag should be an addition to everyone's quad backpack, it's what I added to mine because if I ever land in mud or worse, I've got something to clean my quad and my hands with.
Between the standard 8mm wrench and the screwdriver style grip 8mm wrench I prefer the screwdriver style. I’ve noticed that with a regular wrench I have enough leverage that I can over tighten the nut and mess up the threads. The screwdriver style keeps me from do that.
@@JoshuaBardwell Thank you! The problem is the whole drone is covered with grass, not just the lens. I wonder if grass may damage all that boards, wires etc? I though it would come off with a blower once it dries but unfortunately it's pretty sticky. I'm thinking I need to disassemble the drone and clean each of its components. I'm learning to fly FPV over the grass and I crashed or landed dozens of times in the grass already...
Do you have any tips or tricks for just getting in the hobby? I’m 14 years old and I have a DJI spark and a spry +. I really want to get into the hobby of sport drone piloting but I need a drone. I’ve been doing some research and I really am having trouble on deciding what to buy. Respond back if you have any tips or tricks
@@JoshuaBardwell Unless your mom lets you fly in the house, then perhaps a NewBee Drone RTF kit, that bundle is stinkin' rad. You lose the brushless power, but you gain a transmitter that you can plug in to your PC and use for simulators.
Hey JB (and anyone else who wants to chime in), what kind of analog video gear would you suggest for flying in densely wooded/mountainous terrain? I've got 75 acres of off-road trails I want to fly but once I'm like 20 feet in all I get is snow. Running a 600mW VTX with axii antenna and Skyzone 03O's with patch & omni, would a Rapidfire module be the way to go?
@@JoshuaBardwell I'll definitely double check that. It's an eachine tx1200 which is supposedly capable of 1W but from what I've seen, 600mW is where it's output is actually consistent. I'll probably end up trying a new VTX too to be sure.
I have a problem with my taranis x9d plus while I am give throttle also the yaw moves a little bit and I don't now what to do it is a brand new taranis
You should be able to compensate for it on your model by setting the subtrim offset in the Outputs Page (Press Menu then Page until you get to page 7/14).

Do you think that a Ts80 or Ts100 can be used as your only soldering iron?
the small screwdriver is for camera hoods on the micros JB.
I think there may be extra bits in the screwdriver.

That really small Phillips head screwdriver make sense for working on whoops
The precision screwdriver is perfect for whoop builds, as one of the last lovers of brushed whoops that is my favorite whoop screwdriver.
You could also grind down the tip of that 8 mm wrench to make it a lot thinner which is what we do at work to adjust our brakes on our AC servo drive motors!
Can you do a video of building your dream drone again because a lot of new products have come out
Joshua anouces he new dream build drone in a pass livestream. Only wait up a little to know more about them.
He doesn't have to, it's the Mr Steele apex :))
That is the best tiny whoop screw driver i've seen.
lol I had exactly the same thought

You could also 3D print a container for that sponge that was smaller and then cut a piece of that brass sponge to fit in it!
I wish it was available in Europe or on banggood.. Shipping from the US is expensive
It's still $11 if I choose the cheapest option to ship within the US. It must be so expensive to ship outside. Good luck finding each piece.

Great review, Joshua! 😃
Looks like a great little kit indeed!

The screwdriver is for the mini-whoops from NewBeeDrone, it's perfect for the canopy and such :)

Water is easier to get, but Isopropyl Alcohol is a bit safer for electronics.
Solder says tin/lead, but lists the composition of lead free solder on the same line. You would want to add a no-clean flux pen too.
I love it when I buy something and get a little toy tossed in! I collect them! I call it "the legion of lost bois"

Wow I did not know they had this great video
Eyyyoooo0 Mr J duuuuuude,
That weak screw driver is also a flat head I believe. The screw bit screws out if I'm not mistaken 🤔
that little green goblin guy guys on your googles stubby antennas!
The sh72. That’s what I spoke about in your last video. £9 on Banggood
I have one and use it everyday

Please check the pinned comment.
@@JoshuaBardwell Saw it. Just appreciated your honesty in filmmaking. =)
end of the video was funny 🤣
4:10 min I like the angled version of the tweezers and the flatter one...
They never put in a prop nut wrench????
The screwdriver is for tinywhoop canopies and motor screws
Omg 4:11 josh said a no no word
Nice kit JB. ✔
BTW. ... are they your hands?? 🤔😉
Don't use the tweezers to push the pinhole button on a DJI Air Unit.
Right, Mr Bardwell!? ;)
Hey Josh, please consider making a video about cleaning a drone after crashing into a grass multiple times. My drone has cut grass pretty bad...
Lick your finger. Swab the lens. Rub it with your T shirt. Get back in the air. Done.

Awesome tool video! Do you have a link to a good hemostat you prefer? Thanks.
I've gotten M2 stack screws with a philips head instead of hex, so that might be what it was for.
ive been looking at getting this kit...... it looks good for the money
looks like a cool kit, but that included soldering iron looks nothing like a ts-100 iron. it looks much worse then a ts-10 iron.
What electric driver do you use for drones? Thought i saw a big yellow drill at some point
Just noticed a weird thing: The Solder says "Tin/Lead", but then says "Sn 0.3, Ag 0.7 Cu."
That, my friends, is lead-free solder. Chuck it away.
Can you put together a pro kit and tell why those tools are better?
Very nice kit to start with. The total comes to $62 after tax and shipping. Any other cheaper but reliable option out there?
Is there a cable I could buy for the soldering iron that plugs into an outlet?
Can I use a 2s or 3s battery with an xt60 to xt30 adapter to power the soldering iron?

can you make a video about ExpressLRS ? it's a great project
Thanks again for the great advice
That klien also has 2 sockets
The philips head is probably for Tiny Whoop stufffffs
the size of the carrying case is like the exact same size as a Nintendo Switch case 😂
Buying now . .
Whats the part number to the Klien 4 way screw driver you showed? Just bought the kit to replace some of my 20 year old wiha tools.
I don't know the part number. I picked it up off Amazon.
Great toolkit!
Precious ending, ;)
Is the small Phillip's for tiny whoop motors? Also side note, if I dont get one of those funny little green guys in mine I will low key be kinda sad
I take a risk and conformal coat/re-coat the tips of my tweezers...8)

First
I have this & didn't get a prop tool. 🤨😔
@Helper Bee Very cool. Will do 👍🏼
How do they miss an 8mm prop tool? It's literally the most used tool for an person flying fpv.
They were just slow to source it. They didn't leave it out.
