the term "brushless dc motor" really bugs us

it's a permanent magnet synchronous motor and runs on AC, it is in no way a DC motor

it's not like, significantly *worse* than JBC but there are things that are just annoying about it

like instead of doing what JBC does and sensing when you put down the iron with a magnet and a reed switch, it's an accelerometer and a timer, a much less elegant solution

it feels like Weller doesn't really have anything to offer with their soldering equipment other than being cheaper than JBC

kinda regretting going with a Weller when we were asked to spec some nicer soldering equipment than a hakko fx-888d for the lab

@SwooshyCueb if it's by something other than mass it'll say so explicitly, but it's weird to do it by volume and stuff because that changes with temperature and depending on solution physics it's possible for a solution of something in water to have a smaller volume than the water by itself

@SwooshyCueb By mass, usually, and percentage out of everything

@sharkNserg sorry about that. we're not as upset now and i feel kinda bad about that
