Customer Review: Avoid this product.
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought I'd try this product since it seemed like a neat idea. What a mistake. For starters, the plastic latch tab on the molded plastic case broke immediately. I decided no big deal. A rubber band would do the trick there.
So, I got down to soldering a 24 awg stranded wire to a small solder pad on a circuit board. Frustrating experience. The tip, even though I applied really no pressure at all, chipped and eroded away ad the little spark fired off. At this rate, you'd go through $10 tips really fast. That alone didn't impress me. You have to get the tip seated against the solder point fairly precisely for the tip to begin heating. If you can't manage it, the tip won't stay heated. Once you get it heated, it barely melts solder. The tip also repels the solder, which makes wetting the connection very difficult. After about 10 minutes of trying to get this very basic connection complete, the light went out. Hm. I noticed the batteries rattled around in the case like they were lose - Not held in place within the battery compartment. Sure enough, the batteries were not being help by the battery terminals - The typical spring pressure contacts you find in most AA battery holders. I decided to open it up and see what happened. The spring terminals heated up to the point where they lost their temper and had not ability to clamp the batteries in place. I also noticed that the batteries, even after a number of minutes during dis-assembly, were really hot. I mean REALLY hot.
Stay away from this one at ANY price.
