One of my kids[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] obliterated one of our 15[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] remote controls[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] So, instead of buying a new one, I ran down to Costco and bought one of those Cold Heat solderers. When I first sw them, I was skeptical[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]Couldn't see how it worked and most of all. It was mail order only[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] So, I ddin't want to spend my hard earned[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] money on it. With out actually seeing it. Well, I saw Costco has been carrying them for a few months now. At first, it was just the Soldering iron by itself. Then, I noticed they were selling it with the wire stripping tool[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] So, hhhmmmm, maybe[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Well, after seeing how delicate remotes are built[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I thought, IT'S time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Went down bought it for $16.99[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] And tried it, Thing works like a charm[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Glad I bought it and the wife didn't say a word[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Especially when she had the look of shock on her face when I fixed the remote[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I LOVE getting NEW TOOLS[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

So, if you need a solderer, I recommend it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Now, I know b&rw has some experience with electrical thingys[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] So, maybe he can speak from experience;Q But, for someone who just tinkers with electrical thngs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I liked the job it did[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

IIRC San Ysidro is the border crossing into TJ.

Went to the link (thanks OFC) and I can't believe the ******** wife had the gall to sue McD's! Eating too many chicken nuggets? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Maybe sick (as in toss his lunch) but going insane like that? I DON'T THINK SO!

And I stopped at Costco on the way home. Though about looking then realized screw it, it's kinda busy and I'm hungry. Had to buy charcoal (Kingsford is the only briquettes I will buy), lighter fluid and picked up some hot dogs as they were 1/2 the price of the grocery store.

Ok, so how did she jack up the remote? That's what I want to know.

I've seen them and have always wondered about them myself. I have a regular cheapo Wells soldering iron (pencil type) that I've used like 2 or 3 times. Last time was when I fixed the Nubira A/C.

I don't tinker with too many things electrical. I draw the stuff up, not build it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] If I had to build it, I'd actually have to do some work sometimes. LOL. Actually sometimes I do get called on to work on stuff. I've worked on control panels (2 VFDs, a few starters, 2 A/Cs...and that was in EACH panel.

I saw the proof[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yea, I try and time when I go there too. I find Wed/Thurs are the best. Not as crowded and they usually have hard to find or, seasonal item(s) show up on the floors on those days[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
