My buddy Glenn showed me that you could remove the soldering tip from

If you just used the two posts with no tip, you were doing resistance
soldering. Inductance heating requires a loop to couple the power into
the load. Like Diathermy machines.

I bow to your deeper knowledge, MikeySan. I thought the magnetic
field was doing the work, but see that it was the connection of the
two posts which completed the circuit for resistance soldering. In
any case, it sure as hell beat the time of the soldering tip! 'Twas
quick and very efficient.
