the thing melts the solder only and doesn't heat the joint up enough
to "tin" it. This results in a "cold solder joint" and in a few
weeks it will be corroded and lose electrical contact. Don't waste

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.

Got one for X-mas. Tried using it once, ended up getting out the soldering
iron and promptly gave it to someone I didn't like very much.
