Same item, different label on the same chinese maker's product, with the exception that this one is actually a 120V item, which I did not take the time to find.
The market is flush with chinese electronic 'tools'.
This one has a connector on the hand piece. Also, has the original design processor with improved code correcting some bugs in the first units.
You should open any of these Chinese devices up and do a critical QA inspection. I have found units where the neutral is switched and not the line. Also, the ground is not correctly bonded to the case due to paint not being removed where the lug is attached.
It is not the same item in spite of your review.
Hi Jeff, Thanks for all your thought about my problem. My smoke stack is mostly there to stop the heat from spreading and melting the solder on all the nearby components. I'm pretty much happy with the design. If I've got 100-200 of these to do, and it takes a minute. Then building a new tool that does it in half the time is only going to save me 50-100 minutes. (It doesn't seem worth it.)
But thanks again. It's always good to have different ideas.
George H.
