    Quoted from jfesler:

    About the TS100
    The TS100 is actually the predecessor to the TS80. It supports a wider range of input voltages, and works specifically with dumb power supplies. It's a bit bigger.
    What's worth noting about the TS100:

    Faster warm up (~10 seconds to 300C when using 19V/40watt)
    More tips available
    Works with dumb power supplies
    Works with more voltage ranges, from 12v to 24v (and wattages ranging from 17w to 65w)

    If you're into remote control toys, chances are you can make an adapter for your existing battery packs, and not bother carrying any purpose-specific battery for your iron.

    Great review thank, I came across the Mini TS100 in another YouTube video on Macbook repairs and thought I would try it out. It is a great portable solution for working on pinball machines. If you are interested have made a video of the setup and performance.

    All the best and thanks for taking the time to do the review.
