But 250 bucks - it’s a kWeld price here in Europe
The only thing he actually told - the electrodes are awesome. Can’t you just use them with Malectrics? (buy separately)
Have you considered Malectrics instead? They are less expensive than either the kweld or the flipsky, and a couple reputable battery builders use them.
Ah, that sucks. Personally I’d still wait for the kWeld in that case – if you decide to sell it later you’ll probably recover more money. If you do decide to go for the Flipsky though, let us know how it goes!
I’ve bought one of the pens like above and it’s a bit shonky. Not unusable. The probes are pretty much worn out now after a few batteries though.
I think the flipsky might be a little better.
I also got one of these for a nice discount from flipsky. I have a kweld but this is signifigantly better. After making a 12S3P for my scooter, it didn’t even get close to hot. The wires on my graphene lipo got warm but not too hot to hold. welded really nicely on .2 pure nickle.
We’ll see how reliable it is in future, but I wouldn’t be complaining at all. Its a step up from kweld and justifies its price tag so far.
