Hildy_42:

Has anyone tried one of these?

I saw the infomerical on tv the other day and it looks too good to be true.  It is only $30 so I might give it a try but I thought someone might have some insight on it.

struby:

I have a friend who tried one and felt as though it was pretty much terrible, I'll ask him today if I remember.

Timoe:

Stay away from that thing.

I own one (its broken now)  It never soldered a single joint for me.  Spend the extra $10 and get a nice one, you will be glad you did.

Get the kind with the base that has the metal coil to hold the pen type iron.  You can do big stuff with it or work on tiny electronics.

MYX:

I have been very curious about that but have been too sceptical to buy into it. I would also love to hear if any of you have used one too.

ErikRuud:

Do search, they have been discussed a couple times.

I tried one, and it suffered melt down way too easily.
