Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ Efficient and Portable: Unveiling the WELLER BP865MP Battery Soldering Iron by Adam Gechem

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Violates all product and packaging usability rules.

My experience started with trying to get a soldering iron out of the box. The clam plastic bladder was much thicker than needed. The two halves were then welded together from plastic, as is common with most retail packaging. Small loose items inside were secured with super aggressive tape. This method is not recommended for paper manuals. By the time you separate the instructions from the tape, most of the printing will be gone. I doubt you'll read the instructions anyway because of the two point font used to print. The battery cover on the end was quite difficult to remove. Replacing the battery cover was at least 4 times harder. I hope I don't have to change the batteries often. This is one of the products I would like to bring to the board meeting so that one of the board members can open the package and demonstrate the product. I don't usually get invited back.

Pros
  • Soldering Iron and Soldering Iron
Cons
