My cold heat came with the stripper and it does'nt work very well, back to the iron you plug in, and the ordinary strippers.

Better than the difficult strippers!
They're so much trouble.

Basically you put the wire(s) into the jaws and squeeze. They are stripped. At least that's the way the ads show it. I wouldn't know as my paid for strippers are MIA.

I got one of those Cold Solder guns for Christmas last year. Like Johnallg said, they work on very light soldering jobs like small wires. It stays in it's case. I keep my boring, old wired soldering iron ready.

Guess what was in the mail Friday?! The strippers. Evaluation? Save the $7 "S & H".

Plastic and bendable metal, jaws are plastic, not rubber to grip the wire to be stripped, the blades that do the stripping are actually blunt. They work but.....

I should have posted about them back in January - maybe I'd have gotten them months ago!

Mine's been on order for about a year....I think I'll send in the next postcard I get to cancel it.

Chris - they pretty much are junk.
