Nice video

@GrandmasGamer Thank you! Always fun to find a product that exceeds my expectations.

Wow, that's a fantastic iron for so cheap, thanks C.K. About the cord, it might be better if it had a below bench plug-in, then at least the cord might drop away. On the tip/ceramic gap, i suppose if Hakko tips were purchased, that would cure the issue but, as you show, it still works just fine.

Still surprised at how accurate the temps were, this is a nice iron.

About the infra-red eyes, C.K., get a little more sleep and don't worry so much about pleasing us subscribers....ha ha. ;-)

@englishrupe01 I did just fly back from the Caribbean to California yesterday, so maybe 4 hours of sleep were the cause :)
