A soldering gun make a great degausing device for your TV or monitor with
pink or purple corners. Power on from 5' away, move the gun (sideways) in a
circular motion up to the screen, do several circular sweeps of the screen
and slowly pull back 5' before powering off. At this point, beware of the
TIP. Works well, though.

the trigger.
