In this video I take a proper look at the Sequre SQ A110 soldering iron, because at around $30 it’s the definition of “cheap and cheerful” — but the real question is whether it can actually do the job. If you’re into electric skateboard builds like I am, you end up soldering a lot: ESC wires, battery leads, connectors, little fixes when something inevitably breaks. So I wanted to see if this budget iron is a usable tool for DIY work, or just one of those things that looks good on a product page and then lets you down the moment you need heat on a chunky joint. I go over what you get, what it’s like to use, and the basic value proposition for anyone building or maintaining boards at home. The takeaway is simple: if you’re after an affordable iron for general tinkering and light-to-medium soldering jobs, this is the kind of tool that can make sense. But if you’re regularly doing heavy gauge wire and big power connections, you’ll still want to think about your setup and expectations — because price is great, but reliability and performance matter when it’s your board on the line.
