I guess it's not only a time saver. Unless you actually would unroll/re-solder an instrument worth > 10000 EUR, which would scare the hell out of me.

Funny trivia: The article uses ' as delimiter here, as in 10'000 although Germany (the domain name uses .DE and the company is based there) uses the . here -> 10.000 Seems like the author ('from Italy') of that post is using the swiss notation? Any other (european) country using ' as a thousand separator?
