What I ordered vs what I received.

Post by rubber_jonnie »

I ordered this from AliExpress as my old soldering/hot air station is getting on a bit:

This is what came:

You can imagine my disappointment...

I don't even know what it is/does.

Can't fault Ali Express though, they had a refund to me for the full amount in less than 24 hours.

Sorry, I'm not making fun of you but of stupid sellers such the one you received your stuff from...

And even if you get your money back, it's a real waste of time.

To be honest, I have no idea what it is or what it does, so if I'm using it wrong I'm not surprised!
