DO NOT BUY THE COLD HEAT SOLDERING IRON

Post by Retromaster » Sun Dec 03, 2006 5:33 am

again...DO NOT BUY IT. IT IS A PIECE OF THIRD WORLD DOMINICAN REPUBLIC JUNK. It didn't even melt the solder! all it did was sit there and spark a bit. I probably damaged my circuit board. I lost it though...THANK GOD........but I also lost 2 AA batteries! DAMN YOU COLD HEAT!!!!!!!!



If you have a story that can discourage the other users from buying it, please post here V

You mean you actually payed $19.95 for that piece of crap? Dude, you can tell just by looking at it that all it does is short out to melt solder!

Actually, I payed nice starving family of illegal immigrants three bronze shillings from the Mayan era ( AKA 8$ and a nice bag of "powdered sugar" that remarkably tasted like milk) they gave it to me in a nice bubblewrap case. Yes...... It was in fact a ripoff AND an illegal trade. just don't use it on capacitors. My mom said it "ran away to a better place"

I don't remember ever watching peter pan or any of that hypnotic Korean propaganda because 1) i'm not gay
2) I was dropped on my head
3)I wasn't implanted with a mind control chip
4)My parents raised me with an IRON FIST
5)I hate Korea- Kim Jong Ill looks fat, cheesy, and constipated

And a whole lot of other stuff that I can't remember cause I was shocked in the head with a car battery.

I checked out your website and forum and saw systems I never knew existed. However, I can't see to well cause I stuck a fork in an electric outlet and touched my eye to it to complete the circuit since the lights didn't go out soon enough. I saw that weird texas instruments computer. I can't belive somone would throw that out.

What does what explain what in your last post?

You saying you where raised w/ an iron fist would explain the homophobia & the racism in the same post. (no offence...)

Ah yes, that old TI-99/4A! I should probably get around to replacing that diode (or diodes) and find a good PSU I can mod the connector on...(If I remember correctly (I could be wrong), it has a built-in RF unit, so I should be able to slap an old NES switchbox on it...)

EDIT: I haven't seen Peter Pan either, though I HAVE seen Hook...
More EDIT: BTW, I burned out that TI because I idiotically applied 120V AC to it directly. twice...

I have an old NES RF box that I removed off my N Gadget NES system. Do you need it?

EDIT- So you don't sacrifice your current NES RF box?

By the way, we've all known the Cold Heat tool is a P.O.S. for months now.
