You just beat me to the post oceanman93, but here is a pic of a solder helper: Very usefull, once you scrap the magnifier. (My eyes are fine!) |

Speaking of soldering.... Has anyone tried those new coldheat soldering irons? They use 4 aa and what looks like a ceramic tip. It's supposed to heat instantly and cool instantly. I keep seeing them advertised on TV. I'm always afraid that one of my kids will end-up getting hurt on the the one I'm using now. It takes so long for it to heat and cool down. |

I haven't used one personally, but I have heard opinoins on it. Most say that it works excellently, except for the fact that it only has a fat tip, so any fine soldering is going to require the tried and true that we are used to. |

I just happened on a lengthy discussion on the merits of the Coldheat soldering device. |

I find it helps immensely to put EXTRA solder on a joint before trying to use the solder sucker. |
