I've never seen one...never used one...but I can guaran-damn-tee that the
thing melts the solder only and doesn't heat the joint up enough to "tin"

Look what's typically sold via infomercial:
Exercise equipment
Diet plans and pills
Get rich schemes
Tools and appliances that solve problems that are either nonexistent,


or

easily solved with something you already own.


C'mon - I think that lil' soldering iron that goes cold immediately is
pretty neat!


Look it up on the web, though. I think Amazon carries it, well, some
site that has feedback. The feedback was horrible. And not just one or
two.
