Comment on A music player for the TS80 soldering ironparent

Comments

I have one, just weighed it 36g without cable, 52 with the entire cable. So real lift will be between the those two, probably closer to 40g

Are the tips more broadly available for purchase at this point?

Yeah, but realistically I only use the BC2 tip. I've also got a TS-I tip in a box somewhere but I've never bothered to get it out.

I picked up a T12 shovel tip, which extends comically far from the handle, but works just fine: https://www.flickr.com/photos/myself248/49284798441/ and https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07V7DY8YQ/

I wish I could get shovel tips like that in the shorter TS100 form factor, but no luck. I've thought about picking up one of those knockoff stations that takes the T12 tips, specifically one with the FX9501 handle, specifically for the added versatility, but I don't think I'd use it enough to justify. But here's the one I've been looking at: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07PQ1GJZ5/

The native TS100 tips are all over the place. But the ecosystem thereof is still very small.
