RYOBI Solder Pen USB Lithium Review [FVH61K]

Рет қаралды 41,152

Жыл бұрын

The new RYOBI FVH61 USB Lithium Solder Pen gets to soldering temperature in just 40 seconds. Powered by the USB lithium 4V battery, this solder pen is small and easy to use. The fine tip and small battery makes this best used for smaller projects, but we made several solder joints without the battery indicator going to "low battery." You can get the RYOBI solder pen at The Home Depot starting in July 2023 for $70. #ryobitools #homedepot #review

You seemed to have missed an entire area of soldering. PCB boards. It seems that the thin tip would be perfect for small circuit boards. Loosening solder and resoldering components.

I was taught (US Navy nuclear soldering school, yes they had one back in 1978) to use enough heat to get the solder to wick into the braid. Quick and easy is best. I suspect that this tool, when used on a printed circuit board would take too long and the component being soldered would overheat. When I need to solder without power being handy, I take my Weller temperature controlled soldering station and my ryobi 1+ inverter to do the job.

I like that the Milwaukee one still has the indicator light on after you turn it off until it cools down enough to touch.

I use the Milwaukee m12 regularly and it’s great. But, she’s a hefty one. Having this little number would be so nice.

I have three WELLA mains power solder irons (S,M.L), got the 18V Ryobi as a present two years ago and have not used the WELLER ones since use the Ryobi one Several time a week. Will definitely buy this as a portable solder iron to take with me or for those sick jobs.

Definitely getting one

Flux only goes on the solder joint. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone dip the tip in flux. 😮

Nice portable solder iron. What part # was that cordless scissor tool you used to open the package? I could use one of those too.

@gf2e Жыл бұрын

Pretty interesting design. I have a Pinecil USB C iron in my portable toolkit. It heats up much faster at 20v, but it isn’t nearly as well designed mechanically. I may have to get the Ryobi.

Love that it is portable

It's definitely portable. Very handy.

Greaaaat now I need me one of these with a two pack of the 3AH batteries! Thanks a lot Ryobi!

@jasonbabila6006 Жыл бұрын

I definitely would get one or two to keep one at home and another in the glove box.

IF you can solder a few PL-259 Coaxial Cable connectors with it , then perhaps it would be worth getting, as I used to use a Weller Port-a-sol Butane soldering iron.

It seems to be a pretty nice tool. It would be great if it came with an assortment of tips.

@monkeyrun 9 ай бұрын

nice. the wire on my soldering iron always makes me nervous.

@moparkr Жыл бұрын

not bad except forthe price. i got the 4v cordless one from harbor freight, which seems pretty comparable to this ryobi one. the HF one was $49 or $59 when it came out but quickly dropped to $39. no issues with the HF one, if the ryobi gets realistic with the price it might be a good buy. any mention of replacement tips in those manuals we never read?

Still haven’t made any tips

How is it compared to the Milwaukee M12 version

@joejoe6949 11 ай бұрын

What size wire did you use ?

@mumbles1justin 8 ай бұрын

Now when is Milwaukee gonna come out with their version that uses red-lithium. Because their M12 soldering iron is a POS and is way to bulky and slow to heat up.

@LifeWideOpen780 Жыл бұрын

Is it a 3 year warrenty?

@user-wr7cv1ny5r 8 ай бұрын

Will it die as quick as the M12 Milly?

@girthy10incher23 Жыл бұрын

Looks like good for really small gauge wire, maybe 12 gauge max?

@Shoptoolreviews Жыл бұрын

That's pretty accurate. 12ga would be the max I would use this for. Thanks for watching.

Seems like he couldn't be bothered to try different solder tin thicknesses. He just kept going on and on with the same solder job throughout the video.

@joejoe6949 11 ай бұрын

Next time test it with led streps that what most electrical would use it for.

Think they will make a rigid so it's lifetime warranty lol???

Its cute but I still need to get that Milwaukee 12v unit which is on sale right now. Edit: I just ordered it.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with the M12 solder iron. Great little unit as well.

For 120.. I can get a 3 tool hobby kit which is perfect for a DIYer.

I have heard the milwaikee has issues with a part melting on it. Maybe they fixed it by now though? I love all things milwaukee and have a ton of their stuff but, that has kept me from buying the soldering iron.

@unionse7en 4 ай бұрын

do they have replaceable tips?

@unionse7en 4 ай бұрын

replacement tips seem hard to obtain... FAIL: "We're sorry to hear that you haven't been able to obtain replacement tips"

@kennethanderson7642 3 ай бұрын

The A126FCBT1 is the part number for the pack of 3 replacement tips and A126TC1 is the part number for the tip cleaner. These parts are not yet available from Ryobi because the soldering pen is so new. The tip is 51.45 mm long, so I'm almost sure it uses the 510 interface. I ordered a set of 3 510 soldering iron tips from Amazon for about $10 and intend to try them out until the official Ryobi ones are made available.

@kennethanderson7642 3 ай бұрын

I got my 510 interface tips in from Amazon and can confirm that they work very well on this pen. The hoof tip carries more heat if you are attempting 10 gauge wire joints. I will gladly order the tips from Ryobi when they are available.

@ivanafanasenko1896 Жыл бұрын

Everything looks good on except heat up time . Almost 2 minutes is pretty bad by todays standards .

@pchris6662 11 ай бұрын

I have quite a few RYOBI tools and am a fan. The price on this is awfully high but I like the design. I’m not giving up my radio shack butane soldering irons though. Those things will last years on a single charge of butane and it only cost me $19. But I do like the led light! When I’m doing small repairs/installs under the dashboard and such it would be perfect. By the way…read the directions and do the video over. Ya came off as awfully lazy on this video.

Usually, when you review ANYTHING, you should really READ the instructions FIRST before going online reviewing things.

@DarksouIjah 7 ай бұрын

He mentioned this in the review and called himself out for not doing so.

@stanleyturner1975 6 ай бұрын

Yes but sometimes the instructions aren’t in English to understand so you need to look at other peoples reviews I have a bit of kit that the instructions were in Chinese which I don’t understand.

@weavercattlecompany 24 күн бұрын

Overpriced piece of shit 🤣 The Ryobi soldering station with a 6ah battery only last 4 hours with 10 minute time outs so you know that this product isn't going to work all that well. Think I'll stick with my Weller Portasol butane soldering iron instead for portable jobs 😏
