The product, in the report: Battery powered soldering iron
The Battery powered Milwaulkee M12 soldering iron has a major issue whereby the palstic collar at the top of the housing melts and loses it’s ability to keep the heated end of the iron in place. As a result, the iron is very dangerous and could easily cause injuries ast the hot end of the tool (at over 700 degrees!) will tilt and could break off while in use!
See the link below for MANY consumer complaints of this problem. i would like Milwaulkee to recall this item immediately.
