minus-squareActers@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·6 days agoDoes it matter if the products last longer than an apple product and can likely be repaired?
minus-squarepotentiallynotfelix@lemdro.idlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·6 days agoOf course it does, I was talking more about price than repairability.
minus-squareSpaceballstheusername@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·6 days agoJust curious what do you think a reasonable price would be for this product?
minus-squareorb360@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·6 days agoA pinecil is 25$ and a 40kmah battery pack is 35$, so the combination… 60-70 bucks.
minus-squareSpaceballstheusername@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 days agoI’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?
minus-squareferret@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·54 minutes agoThe 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.
minus-squarepotentiallynotfelix@lemdro.idlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 days agoI’d say an absolute maximum of 100 USD
