Thanks to all who responded. It's just as I suspected - if something
looks too good to be true, it usually is. Cheers,

Charlie, I ordered one of these last year and should be called cold heat for cold solder joints.The tip is split actually two electrodes that pass the current through the work to heat it.Trouble is the tips have to have a firm contact on the work?Now try this in a head light shell with two pigtails and you need a third hand.I could not solder two pieces of 18 awg wire together,tried a 22 wire and it took a long time to heat.Not a very usefull tool if on the road with a wiring problem,I did get my money back.As mentioned in an earlier post,the micro torch would be better.
