NF.Mini Amazing Micro Soldering pen review

From the video it is USB-C PD powered and consumption is 2A @ 9V.

It seems to be the same as this offering from the WOZNIAK aliexpress store:

and there are other mini soldering pens which use "115-*" and "210-*" tips like listed here:

Are these tips from another soldering iron system?

The tips shown in the last link look a lot like what is used in JBC and clone irons, at least the C210 and C245 relate to the handles I know of.


Edit: These clones are getting cheaper too. https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005003752619954.html

EVERY item they sell is available on aliexpress for less $$ if you dont mind waiting a bit. the anti glare light for example can be found all day long branded as amscope and others, the atomizer pen can be found for like 7-8$ (ive ordered them). and yes the one they sell is the same as the one you linked to on ali. ive seen them even cheaper here and there by around 10$ also at times.

His sales pitch makes it seem like his wares are somehow different or exclusive. While I give him credit for not reselling the cheap junk, it's still regular Chinese goods from AE sold at a fat premium.
Considering how much he brags about the most mundane things he does while knocking down whatever repair another guy's done before him, it's kinda expected. Not a big fan.
