Issues
- needs a lot of force; for instance: for one iphone mould it requires 2 adults
- not portable, doesn’t fit in a car
- very high, 2.20 m
- we recommend 5 heat bands
- official material bill misleading : the shown heat bands alone cost 120 Euro and the steel tubings are easily 100 Euro as well
- rather clumsy to use, especially if the parts are not properly done and welded
