The soldering on mine was quite reasonable. But having said that, my AN8002 has a few iffy joints. Just cosmetic; nothing that would affect reliability. I guess that goes with the territory.
Noting that the soldering was bad on the 10A shunt in Dave's meter, I'd be cautious about reflowing those, as the calibration could be affected, and the constants are stored in EEPROM. I'm hoping the calibration stays good over time, as I doubt these would be easy to adjust. But having said that, a lot of folk have hacked other meters using that chipset, so perhaps tools will emerge.
I think you'll all be impressed by the size when it arrives
