I used a Dc to dc booster to power it with 24V using a lower voltage power supply, definity an improvement in power delivery.

Do consider the possibility that you may short something when the soldering iron is being powered by what you’re soldering. I think the tip is grounded to the supply.

I have been using the Ts100 for months now. At 24v (I use my ender 3 PSU at home) and it heats up rediculous quickly. The tip gets hot and stays hot and when I’m flying my race quads I can power it from all my batteries. There are heaps of tip shapes available, featuring a lot of the hako style shapes and honestly for the price it’s a no brainer.

I have the TS-80 and it’s perfection ! The best soldering tool I’ve being using ever. Very light and accurate, very easy to work with. Sexy. Does the work perfectly well ! I used to hate soldering - this one made me love it.

I wish there were more (bigger) tips available. Still just 3 tips for ts80, right?
The Hako’s also fit, btw. They are just a bit longer.
Hakko t12 tips fit, there was some kind of Louis Rossman video quite a while ago.

I use hakko t12/t15 tips on it, the only issue is they are longer than the ts100 ones

About the TS80, personally I can never get a soldering iron that uses proprietary tips
Someone with one of those should experiment and see if USB-C power delivery @ 20v gives decent performance.
In theory it should be like 45-50w with the 8 ohm tip?

Built my 12s7p with a ts100 @24v, it was a breeze.

What helping other gear do you use?
Not sure what you’re asking
helping hands, extraction fans etc.
