My dremmel (acually is a sears craftsman) But for Christmas my wife got me this really neat cold heat cordless soldering gun. Works great on wiring not so good on track solding but it solders really fast!

I just got one of those cold heat things, haven't tried it out yet .. anythign you've found it an't do yet?

I understand that it can't solder track. It says in the instruction booklet that it's not designed to solder larger objects. for my track I used a larger high wattage gun to solder the track feeders but I'm using the coldheat to solder the feeders to the bus wires since those conections are under the layout and I don't want to mess with falling solder or electrical cords

I got a cold heat solderer for Christmas too. I would doubt that it will solder rail but it should do a good job on smaller wire. Incidently, I did have to try it out on a piece of sheet metal just to see how hot it gets. It does get hot instantly. OWie.

The cold heat thing is a form of resistance soldering. If it were strong enough to do rails it would melt itself

It's a tie between lots of friends and the Gauge Forum.
