* For the first manufacture batch of the Pinecil, the copper ring connecting the earth screw to the tip was omitted as the engineering team found the TS100 design lacking. For the second round onwards, an improved design copper ring has been included as standard, and is also included with the replacement red and black handles. For normal operation of the iron, omission of the ring does not impact it's operation. If you are working with ESD components, you will however need it in order to ground the iron tip via the earth screw at the back of the iron.

* For the first manufacture batch (October 2020, order number 158xxx) of the Pinecil, the copper ring connecting the earth screw to the tip was omitted as the engineering team found the TS100 design lacking. For the second round onwards, an improved design copper ring has been included as standard, and is also included with the replacement red and black handles. For normal operation of the iron, omission of the ring does not impact it's operation. If you are working with ESD components, you will however need it in order to ground the iron tip via the earth screw at the back of the iron.

* The first batch of Pinecil's were rated 12-24v @ 65W. After some heated discussion on the discussion group, it was decided that it would be downgraded to 12-21V @ 60W, due to concern over the connection of the DC jack to the USB-PD chip, which has a recommended maximum of 21v, and absolute maximum of 28v.
