The pinecil will go up to 126w if you have a capable power supply. I am going to be honest though, 16awg isn’t that large. A 45w iron could probably handle that fine if you are ok with waiting a but for your wires to get up to temp.
Sorry I thought it was 60 cause that was the newest one but looked at mine it’s the haklo station 70w. Pretty sure it’s 70w but could be just 70w at startup.
Does it matter if the products last longer than an apple product and can likely be repaired?
Of course it does, I was talking more about price than repairability.
Just curious what do you think a reasonable price would be for this product?
A pinecil is 25$ and a 40kmah battery pack is 35$, so the combination… 60-70 bucks.
I’ve never used one but I just looked up the specs and it looks like it maxs out at 75 watts. Is that enough to keep it hot with like 16 gauge wires?

I have a 60w iron and 16awg is always the size that’s just too big for me and always a pain to solder.
Is it actually a 60w iron or does it only hit that current when heating from roomtemp and not when keeping the tip on temperature?
