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]
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 think she threw it at her sister[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] they have been getting along[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

It was probably from the 10th millionth fall from the couch arm, to the tile floor. That thing is a few years old and has taken a beaten[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] It's been taped to gether soooo many times.
It actually works like they claim. Couple seconds, add some solder and your done[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] No waiting for the gun to heat up and cool down. The tip is pointed, so it reaches into tighter spots for those small type solders on a remote.

Holy crap! You guys have been busy! Well, I haven’t had time to read the last 300 posts, but wanted to say hello.

I went camping for 5-days, and then away on bidness for the past 2-days. Now, it’s a 3-day weekend!!!!!! Anywho, the camping trip was pretty good. Did allot of riding and junk food eating. Wifey and I had lightning strike so close that it hurt. We could feel it go through our head and down through our feet (ouch)…and then had to ride off the ridge in a hailstorm (without raingear).

I hope all of you have a good 4th (except for confused)…he’ll be at work.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

HI Hoss, You enjoy your 4th of July weekend too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Sounds like the fireworks had already started for you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] That suxs being that close to lightning strike[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] A few years ago I was about 1/4 mile away as a strike obiterated a tree on the side of the road we were on. Know what you mean about feeling the effects.

How far away were you camping from the house? Seeing you can ride out from your garage[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Best day to go shopping at Costco....ever... Black Friday. Day after T-day. Holy hell it's deserted. LOL

Not gonna happen. WIth the site being down and the washing machine on gentle cycle with a small load not much to do. I'll be lucky to pull the 50 out today. So much of the rest of the site just doesn't yank my chain anymore. Seems like it's been taken over by 15 y/o kids. Instead of 25+ y/o people acting like 15 y/o kids at times. LOL
