Just done my first joint with a new technology iron my friend brought me over from Canada. It runs on an AA battery and has a carbon tip with a split in it. When you switch it on it does not heat up. It only heats when you apply the tip to a conductive surface with both sides of the split making contact to complete the circuit. It heats up immediately and cools with a couple of secs.
So no more burnt fingers, tables etc ;D
Craig is familiar with the science so ask him not me!!
