I know some one who had 1 of those irons, he didn't like it, it was a
radio shack one and it leaked, well, he had a nice fire because of that 1
day, that's how he realized it was leaking, or it was just after he found
out I don't know which, but it was pretty bad there for a few minutes, I
guess he has some of the expensive industrial ones, but I won't touch them
with a 40 foot pole. He's sighted though, but due to his experiences with
it I'm not even going to try one.

| For stripping coax I broke my piggy bank and spent $25 on a stripper
from

| coax. Each slug has 2 preset blades. A few turns of the tool and both

| always manage to turn a 50 foot length of coax into a 48 footer. I
figure
