Happy new year to the whole Tested crew. How did I not find this place before 2019? Every time I see a video from The Cave it makes me want to go out to my workshop and make something.
Oh, and turning that faceplant into a hero move was genius. Well done to ActionMovieDad!
If that soldering iron is what I think it is – a TS-100 – it’s got an open source firmware project that’s completely functional and has a few more bells and whistles than the stock stuff, including a customizable bootscreen! (I put my email address on mine) Project: https://github.com/Ralim/ts100
The TESTED.COM favorites are one of my favorite things of the year!!!
I have found the soldering iron, but really want to know about the DeWalt 20V conversion adapter!!! Dewalt 20V Tools are my newest obsession.
Please post a link to a video – or at least the part number!
Thanks!!!

pjz – there are also a few usb-c mods for the ts-100 allowing for up to 100w of power…
Adam, not sure what sort of books you are into – but i certainly enjoyed The Kurtherian Gambit series (and associated universe). vampire cross space opera. Starts with Death Becomes Her.
Ordered the TS-100. Just saw a YouTuber I respect using one and tracked the thing down — then see the soldering iron on your list … had to order one. Went straight to the source — AliExpress. 😉
Not sure about Haruki Murakami. I read “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” (disturbing, weird, creepy) and “Norwegian Wood” (sorry, didn’t rise above emo love story for me). I think I might like “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle” if it was a little quicker, less violent.
I may have to try one more of his books.
I was hoping to see a Favorite Things video from Simone and maybe one from Alfie. Maybe next year.
