Whilst this is a clever idea, I don't think that I would want to risk a
spark-based iron, soldering on a board with LSI's on it, like they show on
the website. Also, see #8 on their FAQs

Default "Cool Touch" Soldering Tool

I know someone who for curiosity tried one. I would not use it on
anything with electroncs connected to what is being soldered.

It is great for small gadgets and simple wire solders only to a certain
degree. Nothing beats the proper conventional soldering tool for the
required job.

It might be some use for occasional field servicing - indeed I have a
Draper cordless rechargeable that is similar, so I suppose using
disposable batteries makes sense in some applications. However my sort of
field servicing is likely fixing a broken XLR mic cable etc, so a gas iron
is even better.

But all are too bulky for general work - and having to wait for it to heat
up for each and every joint a pain.

Can't Wait to see someone use one on a high density board having micros,
EPROM's, or other highly static sensitive devices. That nice little arc you
see when these things make current flow heating up the solder joint. Think
it would be just as easy to walk across wool carpet, rubbing plastic
packaging peanuts together, with nylon pants on, then discharge the static
build up into my USB port. Makes almost as much sense, IMHO A great
innovative idea, not very well thought-out regarding advertised
applications.

I work in the salvage , store return business and have seen and messed
with bunches of these . They would be very good in certain situations
even on circuit boards .
The biggest problem is that split tip . Its made of some sort of carbon
and will break off REAL easy . You need to push the tip into the metal
or wire you want to solder hard enough so it will contact both sides of
the split tip . To hard and SNAP .
3/4 of the ones i see returned have broken tips .
I sat and removed several parts from junk tv chassis . It worked great
and fast . After 20 or more heatings the tip did get hot and stay hot
for a bit . The batterys stayed up .
A plus side if you have one in your tool box .. the LED light on it
makes a good little flashlight because the tip does not get hot when not
used . They should have used that as a selling point .... you know after
the tip breaks .

How do you _unsolder_ with it?

Desolder braid and then pull? ;-)
