Is the Cold Head any good? http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/69d3/?cpg=froogle

I would never purchase a Cold Heat unit because I saw it on TV; but now that it's on TG, I may have to re-evaluate that decision aphex

 

if you're just doing basic soldering its fine.

if you plan to solder real circuitry or tiny solders - forget it
