Theme song for Cold Heat (the soldering iron that doesn't produce heat)

They play it on History International all the time, I'm not sure what other channels but I'm sure you've seen it. Most annoying song, ever. I'm not sure how anyone could have thought it would be a good idea to put that on there.

Oh, it does produce heat, just very quickly and it cools down just as quickly. But touch it to a piece of metal and then touch the tip, you will be burned.
 
The coldheat soldering iron does produce heat- but it does it quickly, and cools down very quickly. :thumbsup:

Okay doesn't matter. The song is still terribly annoying.

Not as annoying as Fitness Made Simple by John Basedow.

The cold heat soldering tool does not have a heating element. It works by putting current through your work, heating it via direct short- this melts the solder.

So is it worth buying for occasional use TitanDiddly?

I haven't used it, I wouldn't know. It would work well for working on very basic stuff- the thing is, the current that is used to melt the solder can flow through your components too, frying them. Nothing to worry about with resistors, capacitors and other basics, but with chips it could be a real dissappointment to finish your circuit and find out that the iron killed the chip. If it were maybe $5-10 I'd get it, but at the $20 price I'll stick with my reliable, safe 40w Radio Shack iron. If you're in the market for an iron though, get a weller. Definately.
