This Exso soldering iron instantly disabled all three GFI protected circuits I tried it on. Obviously there was some internal ground leakage, and such a thing either signifies a serious design flaw or a manufacturing flaw that wasn't detected by a simple quality check (actually, I doubt it, a control check). So save your money and avoid hassles. Other similar irons cost more money, but at least you have a better chance of getting a working product.
