Well, I bought one and was rather disappointed when I dropped a couple
Duracell's in it and had a whack at sticking a couple wires together.....

Then it occurred to me that this thing uses CURRENT (mini-arc-welder) to
produce heat. Dropped in a couple of 2000mAh NiCDs and it works like a
champ.

However, it does require a bit of operator finesse and a tiny learning
curve. But, after you get it, you got it!

Great little iron for quick fixes and "open area" work.

Wouldn't recommend for primary tool though.

I just got one. They have a split tip that both parts must touch the
pad or solder to get hot.

OK, but how does it work?
