Hi.what do you think about this "Simple LED Tester"?

It is way too simple to cost that amount of money.
Basically 3V battery and pads for different led sizes

I can do that with my multimeter.. Except for some of the white LEDs, which won't work on that, either.

"Not soldering iron friendly", because 0805s and a small battery holder are so hard.

I think its a neat toy, but from a practicable  standpoint it is useless. Some suggestions to make it better (in my opinion)

- was credit card sized
- to make it thinner, use a smaller; custom metal coin cell holder and coincell.
- used all smd parts to make it easier to assemble.
- used some sort of a component holder for different LED sizes or made the contacts larger.
