I always wondered how the hell those things are supposed to work. I don't know of any metal besides maybe (MAYBE) titanium that can create and dissipate heat that quickly...and I doubt you'd sell anything titanium for such a bargain price. Bah...I'll stick to my plain old soldering iron. I'm a big boy...I don't care if I burn myself 1 out of every 500 times I use it. Burns heal...shitty products are everlasting.

I would think that any kind of arc welding would be extremely unsafe for your average homeowner. Then again, the average homeowner probably wouldn't have any problem trying to solder that pesky valve on their propane tank. Let's face it...people are idiots. That's why I still see ads for these things on TV. Even if it does work like they say it does (highly unlikely), who in perfect health is going to solder something then immediately stick the tip on their finger. Hey...I got an idea. There's a crocodile...let me go stick my dick in it's mouth. Looks safe enough.
