. With its innovative quick heating and cooling technology and sleek design, the Cold Heat's cordless soldering tool means that you can take the tool to the job, not the other way around -- saving time and increasing efficiency. The tool heats and cools almost instantaneously so there is little risk of burns -- and there is no loss of productivity due to waiting for the tool to warm up. The tool's white LED provides light over the area being soldered while the innovative red LED alerts a user when solder is achieved. With more than 700 joints from each battery pack of four replaceable AA batteries, the tool provides plenty of life for a long list of applications and types of users.
