message: These need citations of studies.
*Unlike conventional soldering guns or irons, the ColdHeat soldering iron is less likely to cause accidental burn injuries since the tip is heated only when it comes in contact with the surface being soldered.
*The reaction in electronics communities is mixed. 
*The company has announced that the technology of the soldering iron could be used for other purposes as well, and indeed it suggests the technology will reshape our household as we know it.
*ColdHeat is proving popular with broadcast engineers for field work and for radio control hobbyists who frequently require a cordless iron as well.

thread_title: Citations needed

message: It seems there is controversy over the proper spelling of the name.. is it ColdHeat or Cold Heat? According to the website it is ColdHeat; just to clear up any room for ambiguity, if you go to that site and copy and paste the text from the website, it is in fact ColdHeat. I've moved the article to reflect the proper spelling. Triddle 04:03, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  ColdHeat name 

message: I think that I've figured out whether the heat is made in the solder or the tip. It's obviously made by the resistance of the tip. If it was the resistance of the solder, the tip could be metal, instead of the carbon-y thingamabob. Does this make any sense? Thanks. :-) Ilikefood 21:50, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eureka! 

message: I just tried to use this device in order to remove an unnecessary switch from a pet feeder, and when following directions, I could not get the solder to liquify.  The batteries were in correctly, and the light did come on, but when solder was applied to connection and to the gun, nothing happened.  Could this be my solder?  This is my first attempt with 'ColdHeat', so I went back to my old soldering iron.  It is dependable, albeit HOT.  Really would like to know if I'm doing anything wrong.  Thanx...

thread_title:  Functionality concern 

message: I think this needs citation:
*The device also does not work with rechargeable AA batteries. When directly shorted, as they are in this iron, such rechargeable batteries may explode, causing injury to the user.
I've used my ColdHeat a lot with Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, and they have never exploded. BFeely 22:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Batteries blow up? 

message: Someone added to the article "This statement is incorrect in that electro-static damage can occur at as little as 20V, and 6V is less than one order of magnitude smaller than 20V." In my experience, 12volts can cause ESD damage, and even lower in more modern electronics. Does anyone concur that 20V is a little high as a threshhold? 24.254.141.144 21:15, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  20 volt to cause SD? 

message: I bought it and tried it tonight.  It doesn't solder at all. It will just heat up electronics and everything and damage them by roasting but never solder. William Ortiz 08:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  It doesn't solder 

message: The review quoted in the middle of this article - I am concerned that we take far too much copyrighted content from the cited source. A couple of sentences would be plenty, or listing criticisms and linking to that or other professional reviews? Moopet (talk) 14:43, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
