I often fall for products like this
I see the video, where someone logically lays out and shows how easy and superior this product is to all previous ones.
He even pipes in at the last minute, "yeah you can use a lighter do this too, while he uses a hot air gun or something.
Then I get the product and try it out and then test a soldered joint and it kind of "makes crunchy sound when you squeeze the joint with pliers" then I do a few more and test them and both joints pull apart in my hands without much effort. Then I think about it FINALLY and of course it is crap because every joint is cold soldered, the wires you are trying to join never get hot enough for them to really meld in with the solder like a normal hot soldered joint is.
When the solder does finally get hot enough to "melt" the insulation is also so hot that it melts and burns leaving the cold soldered joint un insulated and "cold soldered" At least it was only 20 bucks for 120 pc box of them. So lesson learned .
