[R-390] ColdHeat

[CRIPS01 at MSN.COM]

I purchased one of those Cold Heat soldering pencils. I isn't a bad device if used correctly. It is just the ticket for soldering small connectors like a BNC's, SMA's, RCA jacks and connectors of similar size. It isn't much good for anything else. The one big draw back is the carbon tip, each one is good for a fair number of joints. it wears quite fast and before you start using one one you had better have a good supply of the tips. Radio Shack is carrying them but they do not stock the tips yet.  They tell me they will in the near future.
