It is good but expensive compared to other brands of the same quality (it lost one star out of five). I have had it since 10/2013 and now as I write this, it is 5/2020, but I have used it relatively little. It does not leak and does not have any issues even if you use many rods in a short period of time and it cools down, unlike other brands, and you have to wait for the mechanism of the stand to heat up again. The stand mechanism broke in the first year without any apparent reason (here it lost another star). It is good, but I would not buy it again. I would prefer a Steinel, which I have at work and it has a much harder use. Even those Steinel ones break if you leave them lying down instead of standing up. Stanley, which I have worked with, did not impress me. Parkside is very good for its price (I have it as a backup and to use colorful rods). A Chinese one blew a fuse one day, so stay away from it. Bosch, which I have worked with, is amazing but I think it is even more expensive. Lastly, a Proskit battery that I have for my child is not good because it heats up a little and quickly drains the batteries
