ColdHeat Soldering Iron

[Furious]

ColdHeat sucks the big one IMO. My dad is an electrician for the USN, and teaches MME ( Micro Miniature Electronics ) and he hates the CH iron. He uses a regular iron for his chip-to-board soldering.  To each his own, whatever works for you

I agree, regular irons are pretty good.  I've never used a CH Iron before.. but I think I'd rathers tick with a regular one.

ColdHeat is far less trouble, though.  When I used a regular one, there was too much fussing with cords and stuff, and you had to put it on a stand because it would burn the table.  It's so much more convenient! And it's worked perfectly for me so far, so eh?

ok, its a welder, and doesnt cool down very quickly, but hey - i can build a goddamn tower with it.

I think I'd rather use iago's Iron than that thing for soldering...

I like Linclons a lot more than I like Millers. On a side(ish) note: copper's not that fun to weld... it melts at to low of heat. Also titanum welds at about 320-390 volts (ac) so, you can't weld that with that. :p <3

agreed - however, i would not drive my car if it were made by iago's CH

i like my miller - dont like my lincoln, but my lincoln is about 1/8 the size of the miller.
i usually sweat copper - but then again i would only use copper for piping
and yeah - im not too sure about titanium - might have to bust out the ascetalyn torch (i think its 14000+ deg.)

That's true, but we're talking about soldering in this thread!

[igimo1]

you nerd

[d&q]

By the way, soldering is quite different from welding! 

Just stating the obvious..

[leet_muffin]

yes - one involves uhh little wimpy electrical stuffs - the other involves sparks and fire and grounds and burns =)

[deadly7]

Get a good soldering iron and tell me you can't get burned from it and i'll stab you in the eye and show you what can't be burned.

Huh?

You can get burned from this soldering iron, you just have to try really hard.  It cools off extremely fast, but not instantly.

You're really starting to bug me.  Do you think that jewelry is welded?  Jewelry happens to be an extremely large market.  I doubt people pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for 'whimpy stuffs'.
