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.

 Seems like an oxymoron to me!
Anyone tried one of those "Cold Heat" cordless soldering irons you see
advertised on TV? Would they work on thing like soldering terminals onto
wires and such? Cheers,
