I bought this a few months ago for a small wiring project. As so often, this project was shelved and this soldering iron was completely sealed in its work case for 4 months. I restarted this project two days ago and got to the point tonight where I needed this soldering iron. 30 minutes. But as you can see in the video, he died completely afterwards. I had to connect two (out of seven) electrical wires... but nothing. No heater. I didn't expect this device to be my lifelong companion, but I really expected it to last more than 30 minutes. Sigh.
