cold heat soldering iron
clanggedin:
I bought one with all of the extra tips. I tried to do a cap kit on a Sanyo EZV, but it was too much of a pain. I pulled out the ole soldering iron and had it done in no time.
All I was getting the ColHeat to do was smoke on the solder. I couls never get the stupid thing to melt the solder.

This thing has been talked to death. ::)
Can't we lock this thread and move everything to the original thread? Or better still bury it altogether?

15 years ago i spend $7 on a pencil type of iron at raido shack , i've had to buy a replacement $2 tip now and agin , but the thing still works like a charm ... personaly i dont see the need to inprove on a model thats been working fine for well over 50 years .... of course those little pocket butane irons are cool , great for doing work in the car where you dont allways have access to power.

Interesting. One page says it's the kiss of death and the other raves about it. ???
