That's an ancient model, nobody cares about that. The relevant models today (since around 2008, I think) have been the i-CON line, which performs quite well IMHO.

Pace makes several, completely different tweezer models. You need to specify which one you mean, and maybe say why.

I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of Pace tips are cheaper.


--- Quote from: Hydrawerk on February 19, 2022, 05:11:56 pm --- The PACE cartridges are fixed in the handle and cannot be turned around. I am not happy with that. The cartridges have a plastic end with contacts. They can theoretically be broken.

Are you saying that as a bad thing, or as a good thing (that you could break off the plastic to let the tip rotate freely)?

Bud:
JBC handpiece is delicate, sometimes i am afraid to breathe on it, it can just snap in half if you accidentally hit it or drop the stand. With Pace I can throw it at an elefant and kill the poor creature, then go back to soldering with it.

PACE TD-100 can be broken, I have seen it once. It is made of plastic. https://paceworldwide.com/td-100-tip-heater-cartridge-soldering-iron
TD-100A and TD-200 are made of aluminium, they can hardly break.

JBC T245-A is made of plastic, but it is not that bad. I use it for three years and no problems. It was not new when I started using it.

As a bad thing. The blue end with gold contacts can theoretically break. There is no way to let the tip rotate freely. Contacts do not allow this!

PACE MT-200 delivers only 120W and it is expensive.

But it might be more precise than my JBC AT420A.
