If it says Cold Heat, stay away! POS Heats by arcing a current through the piece, when it actually works.

No, but I'd suggest one of the butane powered soldering irons.

Just as portable.
No batteries to run down while sitting in a drawer, where most soldering
irons spend the VAST majority of their time.
Doesn't cool quite as fast, but still really fast. It'll be cool and
ready to stow away before you can get the cover screwed back onto the
electo-gizmo that you were working on.
Can be used as a lighter, to put heat on shrink tubing, for instance.
The cordless iron will never light your barbecue grill.
Can be used to punch holes in fabric before rib tying.
Can be used to solder lugs onto battery cable (Go to one of Bob's
seminars. He'll demonstrate. Bring your battery cable and you might
end up with a free lug 8*) I was looking at those cordless irons until
I saw Bob demonstrate the butane irons abilities.
Cheap. The super deluxe versions are less than $10.
Every drugstore on Earth has the refill cans of butane for about $5.

Having limited space to store and limited time to maintain tools, I like
each to be as versatile as possible. The little butane soldering irons
are a clear winner.

Can't say I've used one but watching the TV ad's it looks like your
going to get cold solder joints. For soldering a wire together or on
to something, it may work, but I don't think it would work well for
anything electronic. Kind of like those strap wrenches, they look
good but when you come to use them you find they stretch since the
straps do not have any strengthening web material. So just when you
get to the point of getting enough pressure applied to turn
something you find your self bottomed out against the part your
trying to turn. Lowe's sells one in their water filter area that's
much better and Sears has metal handle unit in their tool department.

Radio Shack, for one, Dick...

I had one of these for several years where I worked...very convenient in
remote areas...best part was the little blow torch tip that came with
it...best thing for shrink tubing. Kinda wish I hadn't left it behind
when I retired....in fact, now that we've been talking about it, think
I'll stop over there this afternoon and get one again! Getting tired of
plugging in the army surplus one I use and wait for it to heat up (and
cool down when done). Nice set of tips with the government issue one,
though <G>
