Cold Heat soldering iron...
Ok I have been very interested in one of the Cold Heat soldering irons, however Im not sure if they are even worth it because of the mixed reviews I ahve been getting about them. Are they worth it?

Ya I got one those things, it's much better to spend the money on a real soldering iron.
I only have used it for quick applications like when a wire breaks off, for my xmod I used it to resolder a wire that was disconnected from the battery holder, but be careful, the first time I held it on for too long and melted the plastic on the batt. holder. had to go out and buy another one.

if your friend burned himself then there was metal lodged in the tip. I use mine a lot and love it. but if you get one get a pointed tip as a spare, it makes it much easier to use

DONT GET IT.
its only good for one thing. emptying your pockets. $20 for the coldheat. $30 for the new stock evo board. $75 for the window you throw it through once you find out its a piece of junk. keep in mind there is current going through the carbon tip and if you melt a pool and touch something else your going to ground out and fry something. buy a ratshack dual setting iron for 10 bux and save yourself some time,money and greif. cheers, bondo

how can it make sense to learn how to use a coldheat when you can point and solder with a cheaper iron? please point out some of the benefits of using a more expensive,crappier iron. Quote:
you have to use lightwieght solder with this gun for it to work effectively. it does NOTHING against the solder thats already on most electronics. in fact if you try to use this product on an evo board then chances are your going to fry or short something. Quote:

like i said, its better to buy an iron that you know works. a regular iron has the elements sheilded so no current travels through the tip. a coldheat iron has two carbon elements that when a metal(solder) is introduced to the tip it completes the curcuit. so basically your tip is a +/- terminal. might as well stick a 9v to your board and see how long things last
