cold heat gun

[88litres]

Is there someone that tried to solder battery pack out of this tool ?
Does it work ?
And if so , how good is it ?

Thanks . Johnny

There have been a number of previous discussions on this. Do a search on "cold heat solder radio shack".
I haven't read all of these, but the one I read had mixed reports. Most didn't like it but a few thought it was great.

I consider it a total piece of junk. Don't waste your money like I did.

I'm with TM. It's crap. Mine even came with a "free" wire stripper. Broke the first time I tried it (on 20 awg wire)>

Thanks , I tought of buying it but now I'll think of saving my money on something else when ever it comes out , or , maybe I will buy those little spring box at radio shack they are cheap ! and I don't think a couple gramms would hurt my flying , right !!!

I have one what a piece of crap, I will gige you one for ffree if you pay shipping.
On second thought I think i through it away.
It relies on direct short circuit to heat the conductive item beeing soldered.
A direct short on 2 AA batteries is good for about maybee 30 seconds of soldering.
