ColdHeat - anyone use it?

Industen:

I've used this product on many boards and it works great. The most frequently would be MOD chips on a PS2 and simple PS2 controller soldering. It saves so much time rather then fumbling around with a normal iron. Do it quickly though because it does get rather hot. It even came with an amazing wire stripper that IMO is worth $20 by itself and a handy infomercial carrying case  ;D.

Is that an affiliate link, where you get paid if I buy?

Industen:

No. I just wasen't sure if the stripper was included with the original link. The webpage on TV was

ColdHeatTools.com It just redirects to that other one.

pgifford:

Thanks for the tip.  What guy doesn't appreciate a good stripper? ;)

Looks like it's just an advanced peltier cooler (used in reverse), using highly thermal conductive material (i.e. the Athalite), so that the temperature normalizes quickly after you're done. Also, 800 degrees was mentioned, which can be too hot for some components (I keep my solder station closer to 300), so damage may occur that way in addition to any possible static discharge.
