[Shop-talk] battery operated soldering irons

[Jim Stone]

I have one of the Cold Heat brand irons that I picked up for $12 on an impulse
on close-out somewhere.  It works in a pinch, but I wouldn't recommend it for
any kind of regular use.  There is a good review of it here:
http://www.applefritter.com/node/9642.  Be sure to read down to the comment
from the Weller rep.
