I just received mine and it doesn't seem to do the job soldering on the resistors and LED's together. =(

 

I tried it and it was pure garbage. I went and returned it as soon as I could and got a regular one. It made things a lot easier.

 

Yea that thing is a total piece of **** !!!

The soldering tip keeps on falling out and doesn't even heat up, but once it does, which almost never happens, it doesn't seem to be very cold when u turn it off, i freaking burned my finger w/ it... that thing sucks !

 

***, i bought it off eBay. i'm gonna try to sell it back =)

 

Wow, good thing I read this...I was seriously think about picking it up.

 

yea dont waste ya money -def garbage - i kno b/c i sell them everyday lol

 

That thing is an a worthless piece of junk

 

You cannot use standard solder, it has to be very very thin in order for it to heat up enough. The instructions tell what diamater to use.
Total crap!!!

 

My friend that works at Radio Shack brought it over to see how it works and it was a piece of ****. Stay away from it and get a regular soldering iron.

 

It doesnt work at all, never did really

 

i have one too and found it really hard to use

 

I invented the Cold heat soldering Tool. I stand behind my product. If it doesn't work, we at Cold Heat inc. will replace it for free.

 

i like mine, as long as you use lithium batteries it works perfect for me.

 

I hear most people have troubles with the tips, that they are brittle or something and just dont last long at all.

 

A guy in my car club has one, and it IS a P.O.S. I wouldn't recommend that crap to my worst enema... uh, I mean ENEMY.

 

I got one too, what everyone else said, pure junk.

 

cool, i think ill rush out and get one today!!

 

works fine for me, although I solder the way I was taught in my electronics courses, at least, they told me it was the proper way...

 

i never buy things "seen on tv"

 

i bought one for my senior design project, make some regular soldering jobs that would normally take 2-3 minutes tops into a 20 minute job.

 

I hear you can get ColdHeat and Fast Abs (the device that shocks your stomach to "give you abs!") in a package.

 

^ hahahaha

 

deng i almost bought it too.. good lookin' out guys

 

i bought it and it's trash. broke the tip the first time i used it. to this day, i haven't successfully soldered anything with it - and i'm an electronics major and use soldering irons all the time!

 

My boss bought one for us to use at work. Total crap. I always use .022 silver solder anyways so that wasn't a problem. It took me forever to get anything done with the thing and the tip broke trying to solder two 22awg wires together which were free floating.

 

you never bought a George Forman grill. Probably the best cookin device ever made.

 

The GF grill is a vise investment. Definately on the opposite side of the scale here.
