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.
