Anybody remember that cold head soldering iron advertised on tv
a while back? It was supposed to come with a pair of these
neat looking wire strippers. Well today at the Miami hamfest
someone was selling just the wire strippers. I got two of the
smaller ones good for .2-3mm wire (what's that in AWG?) and
one of the larger ones good for .2-6mm wire for $20.

Where I live, they can be bought for about 3$ a piece...

So it wasn't a super deal, I paid about what it would cost
on this web site. At least I didn't have to pay the shipping
cost.

I bought my first set of these strippers at Home Depot.

For the record, I got a cold heat soldering iron (including a second
set of these strippers) for Christmas and y'know? It works pretty darn
well. I don't use it as my every day soldering iron, but you can bet
it will be in my tool box when, for example, I take my combat robots to
competition. The trick to them appears to be be *gentle* with the tips.

You mean that thing actually works?! I'm amazed....I made fun of it
everytime I saw
the commercial.

Yeah, I tried it soldering a wire to a tube socket. Nothing major.
Worked as advertised. Obviously it *was* hot while melting the solder.
