Cold Heat

How many of you have rushed out to get one of the Cold/Heat soldering irons. Runs off of 4 AA batteries WOW! allot of energy in those babies, most likely good for one soldering job.

Take it easy on him, please. I think Poo Bear must have been badly teased or tickled or beaten on as a kid or something. I am hoping that his conversations here, are useful therapy for him. He seems to have a good heart, once he trusts you.

I have enjoyed enough of his posts to overlook his impulse to distrust with very little provocation. I'm hoping he gets better.

Oops. I copied the misspelling of Pooh Bear's name. No offense intended.

I saw it as an attempt at humor via sarcasm.

Non taken.

It is the honing process you have evidently endured that I have probably been spared.

I believe you, and would be willing to listen to the sad stories.

But I think you might let some of that go and enjoy yourself more, when you are here, among friends.

You smell a troll? I was kinda hoping for some responses.

I've wondered, too, if anybody tried using one of these gizmos. Maybe they'd make soldering those pesky little 0201 resistors easier ;-0

You're for real ?

They've been discussed here many times.

Basically totally useless for real electronics.

Uh ? See my full answer !

The reason you were considered to be trolling is that no-one with s.e.d credibilty would even mention that crap here. It belonged elsewhere. It's not a

*design* issue.

The " Runs off of 4 AA batteries WOW! allot of energy in those babies " suggested to me that this was genuine full-blown troll.

See my later post. I'm not heartless. Honest !

I suspect that my bullshit detector is more finely honed than your own !

Seen that too many times.

No offence intended.

Trust me ! You don't want to be subjected to some of that stuff ! I could elaborate at length. Comparisons to Dilbert and the PHB would no doubt come into play.

The "..allot of energy in those babies, most likely good for one soldering job." suggests to me that the OP is considering both pros and cons of the tool. "allot of energy" in this context is taken as sarcasm, as shown in the "[only] one soldering job" comment.

I haver a beard trimmer that uses 3 AAs, and they've lasted a couple of years so far, not that I spend all that much time trimming my beard. ;-)

I've also seen a handheld cordless _real_ soldering iron, from Wahl, that had a NiCd. I just wouldn't trust one of those little heatless irons, because it's just a resistance soldering unit. In fact, I happened on a sort of "how to use it" page, and it suggested using the solder itself as the resistance medium. Ew! ;-)

Cheers! Rich

[0]I've corrected your spelling of 'Pooh'. Hope you don't mind. :-)

Yabbut, even so, it sounds like the basis of the humour[SIC] or sarcausm[SIC] is that the OP doesn't really expect 4 AAs to have enough amp-hours to actually do soldering. I think they would - in another post I let on as I've seen a Wahl cordless with one 'C'-sized NiCd, and it did real soldering. But I wouldn't trust one of those little "heatless" resistance solderers.

Cheers! Rich

I was given one recently as a gift. It doesn't work! Not even the light! One day I will take it apart and see how it works (or should I say doesn't work!)
