[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rrinker</i> <br /><br />If the one JPM335 linked to at Micro-Mark is the GENUINE Wahl Iso-Tip (and I don't think it is, the color is wrong) then they are EXCELLENT. A knock-off, well, you typically get what you pay for. I've used the genuine Wahl cordless one at work years ago and it was great for fixing up our CNC and EDM machines - plenty of 480 volt outlets around the machine tools but not so may 110 outlets. The charge lasted a good long time, and the thing heated up very rapidly. Yeah, you have to hold the button, but I never found it to be a pain to use. One of these days I have to pick on up, but for now I do all my soldering at my workbench so plugging in a standard iron isn't a problem. <br /> Unlike that "Cold Heat" thing, these are ordinary solding irons that are powered by rechargable batteries. Unlike a AA alkaline battery, a ni-cad battery pack has PLENTY of power to make enough heat. And since these aren't resistence soldering units, they are perfectly safe around delicate electronics. <br /> <br /> --Randy <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Im pretty sure its genuine, the box it came in said Wahl clipper company. Even if it was a knock off, it still works great
