Hi,
I'm an ME who does occasional RC and robotics projects at home, for fun
and/or with my kids, so my electrical work/experience is pretty much
limited to wiring RC control circuits or rewiring the odd lamp or broken
stereo.
My dad just asked me if I'd like a "cold heat" soldering tool for Xmas.
Never having heard of this, I googled it. I understand it's an "as seen
on TV " type thing, and I never have time/inclination to watch TV, so
hadn't seen any informational commercials re. this thing.
Does it work as advertised? If so, that's darn cool, but I need to think
about this to figure out how. Material properties are involved, but I
don't know what it's made of (yet), so i'm not sure.
bottom line, should I stick w/my old "tried and true" with the
interchangeable tips that i've had for years and suffer the occasional
solder burn, or get one of these jobbies?
any advice/suggestions or inside knowledge?
TIA,
karinne W
