" Cold heat" soldering gun
They work extremely well on circuit boards
 A client gave me one and I was pleasantly surprised. The pity is that I would never have bought one based on their stupid commercial.

Is that related to " cold Fusion" ?
How about a link to the ad ? Is this the opposite of " hot cold" ?

I still say its fine for soldering wires together.......but has too many watts of hear for PC work (printed circuits). You will overheat tracks and components, not good. 25 watt iron is the most you should use for electronic work....I spent a lot of years in the electronics industry and did R&D work which had me doing LOTS of soldering, etc.

Crappy ad
Yep, the ad turned me off too. We all know that "cold" is subjective and relative to other conditions while temperature is measured by degrees of heat. It sounded like a ploy aimed at the ignorant masses. Such is marketing.
It has several tips and although I have only used it to repair four circuit boards, it works as well as my 15 watt pencil tip. I have the habit of using heat sinks on transisters and diodes so I don't know if damage is easily done without them. Since I use sockets for ICs, no problem there either. I'll be giving it a workout soon because I have a project coming up where I will be making a mobile cell phone jammer

I just got one of those doodads for my birthday. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Maybe this weekend.
