Absolutely amazing features and quality
I bought a TS100 when they were the new thing and I’ve been using it with a USB-PD trigger module for the past few years as my main soldering iron both at the bench and mobile. I’ve been carrying three PD modules that I’ve configured for 9v, 12v and 20v so I can use it with almost any PD supply. I finally fried the controls recently, the output is fused open sending full supply voltage to the tip so I’ve been using it quite dangerously with a PWM driver I had around.This is a much better solution, and just in general a much nicer design and experience compared to my old workflow. Plus, I could buy about four of them for the price I paid for the old Miniware unit.I decided to remove the silicone grip, though it might be useful as dry-hand season progresses. the aluminum body doesn’t get hot at all with my use, probably about 20min-1hr at a time so I didn’t find it necessary and it removing it allows for smoother storage in my bag’s stationary pockets.The interface is shipped in Chinese, as others have mentioned but the dude who was so taken aback that something made in China has primary support for Chinese users that they had to return it needs to grow up, honestly. Especially seeing that it really can’t be easier to change; the “language” option is actually in English letters even when the interface is set to Traditional Chinese with logographic characters bewildering to us westerners so as long as you can enter the menu and scroll you really can’t miss it. Select it and change with +/- and you’re all set.The interface is simple to just plug in and use, one press of the middle button starts heat, another activates the “boost” temp setting (default of +50°) and double click turns heat off from either mode+/- adjusts setpoint in 10° increments.Settings can be accessed by holding the middle button for about a second, heat is automatically turned off while in menus.A little walk-through of the settings because I found a few things very interesting;1. ‘Tips’ menu has options to calibrate tip temperature, configure save, switch and delete tip calibration profiles. This is necessary because these type of irons monitor tip temperature indirectly by measuring the change in the heating elements resistance rather than by using a thermistor or similar separate component that is essentially pre-calibrated. Different tips will have at least slightly varying resistance due to manufacturing tolerance, and to allow for a wide variety you would want a range of elements with differing resistance so calibration options like these are a very valuable feature and allow for accurate use of virtually any tip that you can attach.2. ‘Temp’ can change default, sleep and boost temp settings. Default and Sleep are finite setpoints, but Boost is the amout above the current setpoint that it will reach. So if boost is set to 50°, and you are soldering at a 220° setpoint activating boost mode will bring it up to 270°3. ‘Timer’ menu allows for changing sleep and shutdown wait time as well as boost duration. An unexpected but kind of cool extra option, you can even adjust the amount of force needed for the accelerometer auto-wake.4. ‘Main Screen’ menu has two options. “Big Number” removes the ambient temp and input voltage from the bottom corners to enlarge the current temp display, while keeping the setpoint and activity status in the top corners. ‘More Info’ is the default that can be seen in the advertisement photos with info displayed in all four corners, and the current temp still larger but not quite as much and in less bold text. For me this is still plenty, the screen itself is about twice the size of the TS100 screen I came from. Also can confirm that the misspelling on the product image that says “WURK” is not present, when set in English I have not found any misspellings or even abbreviations that don’t make sense.5. ‘Information’ displays the current ambient temp, input voltage and firmware version6. ‘Voltage’ Allows for manually selecting PD maximum supply configuration requests. Options exist for 9V, 12V, 12V, 20V at 50% current and 20V at 100% current. This is useful for getting the most out of some wall charger supplies and especially power banks that may support a higher voltage but with less than the full 3 or 5 amps of current that is standard PD spec, which can result in the powered/sink device thinking it can draw more than is available and the supply shutting down due to over-current protection. It means I don’t need to carry three different pigtail dongles or dc-dc converters, I can use whatever cable and supply I have around. These are maximums, so if a charger does not support the requested level it will accept the next highest configuration supported by both devices. If all else fails, it will even fall back to use 5V/1A which takes a good while to get up to temperature, for sure but eventually you can melt some metal. It could be the difference that gets a project done on time.7. ‘QC’ seems to enable and disable Qualcomm QuickCharge compatibility but I haven’t been able to test this as I don’t have anything that explicitly supports QC and not PD and i have yet to acquire a charging protocol analyzer.Fairly self explanatory options;8. Buzzer9. Restore Config10. Update Firmware11. Languages (Traditional Chinese or English)12. L/R Hand (flip display 180°)13. Return (exit)The insulated metal cap is also a very thoughtful addition. Especially if only used in short bursts I can make a quick repair and keep moving, it’s more than enough to immediately jam back in my (mostly synthetic fiber) backpack or even my pocket. There’s enough thermal mass that a fully heated tip dissipates through slowly, even when the iron is powered I can cap it and set it on whatever, even easily meltable objects, not that I try to do things like that but repair doesn’t always afford the convenience of a stable work surface.The tip retention ring is attached to another ring that screws into the body, evidently to secure the internals. This second ring is threaded backwards, which will probably result in it unscrewing while you are tightening the tip retention ring. I found that just snugging it down with the silicone sleeve and my hand allowed the anodized threads to find some purchase, also added some regular strength blue thread locker for peace of mind, no big deal to me anyway.Overall extremely impressed. Everything that wasn’t totally clear was intuitive after some exploring, which I think is cricial for new gear anyway. Definitely worth the price, probably will grab a spare soon.

Feature-Rich Soldering Iron with Minor Shortcomings
This FEITA PTS200 soldering iron kit offers a lot of features for the price. The 100W power output, boost mode, auto sleep and shutdown, and OLED display are all great additions. The pencil-style design is comfortable to hold, and the Type-C connection is convenient. However, I found the temperature control to be slightly less precise than some other soldering irons I’ve used, and the included solder tip selection is somewhat limited. Overall, it’s a decent soldering iron with a good set of features, but there’s room for improvement in temperature accuracy and tip variety.

Awesome Little Iron
This is an awesome little soldering iron for the price. Heats fast, open source firmware, and works great. Heats up in just a few seconds and is ready to rock. The seller also preloaded it with the latest firmware, so I didn’t have to do a thing to it when I got it.I’m not super good at soldering, but the attached picture is my first soldering job with it (having not dialed in the settings yet) and it did a very good job soldering some LED controller leads onto my NeoPixel ring light.

A solid Iron, Metal body, quick powerful 100w heating, nice controls. But there are better offerings
This is a very well made soldering iron. It is solid aluminum, heats quick and provides enough heat for the tough job as ground or battery connectors soldering. Its little bigger than some pencil iron but not too bad, still quite portable and feels very good in hand. The display is crisp clear. Lot of parameters can be set through the setting menu. Factory language was set to Chinese, but if you scroll through the menu Language is in English. Some notable parameters are the sleep, temp time, and boost temperature and time. You can configure these according to your requirement and preference to do the job right and not oxidize and burn the bits.One button boost is great but it lacks a control to put to sleep at will by pressing any one button.You must use a power supply which provide 100w PD (20v@5A) otherwise you will not get 100watts of power. Also its important to use right USB C cable to provide 100watts power. If the cable E-marker doesn’t report 5A support, adapter will limit supply to 65watts, don’t blame iron for it.All is good so why 3 star:My unit was in the design flaw lot which has the thread reversed on the pieces that holds the bit. I struggled quite a bit until I found out that the seller updated the product page about error. To be fair seller was quite responsive and agreed to send me the correct collar replacement. Though it took few weeks, I was also sent an additional bit but was a used one.The unit mentions everywhere that a T12 soldering bit can be used with this unit. But it requires a different adapters (picture) which is not included in this kit. I asked the seller but never got a clear answer. I haven’t seen that as a separate offering to buy but there are other kits which includes it.Even though this iron is pretty good and work as expected, lack of T12 adapter is a big miss. There are other offerings with the T12 adapter and a small stand included, you will have more choice of bits specially if already own T12 bits. Also you can buy other listing even from same seller with a multiple soldering bits power supply etc for few buck more. They are better value.Overall this is a very good portable iron that performs well but there are other offering for same iron that provides better value.

Cannot read settings
I hate to give one-star reviews, but even though the instruction book included a section in English, The actual settings displayed on the tools tiny screen appear to be in Chinese.I believe this would prevent me from safely using this device.

Durante un tiempo trabajén con un Weller de fuente dedicada hasta que rompà la punta del cautÃn que quedó atrapada en el cautin. Comparando el costo de reemplazar el cautÃn alámbrico, este cautÃn PTS200 se comporta tan estable como el weller en temperatura. Es mucho más cómodo y limpio para utilizar.Es importante considerar un cargador rápido (al menos 60W o un powerbank de al menos 100w para utilizarlo, además de un cable USB C capaz de proveer el poder necesario.
