Steel, copper, aluminum, stainless, gold, silver, and others. Made in China. The FOB price is $724. Works on sheet .4mm to 4.0mm. You have to have a close fit, and it has to be cleeeen.

Yeah, some years back, they advertised cold soldering irons on "As seen on TV", and my brother bought two; one for him and one for me. I told him to send mine back. Don't know if he ever did or not.

Muggy weld. I've used it. You can weld pop cans with it. I have a buddy that welded a broken in half 53 Buick top grille bar, polished it out and had it rechromed, it's been on the road over 10 years now. I tried welding an AC condenser with it. It was a little hole, just a pin hole. After working on it the better part of a day, it had a hole the size of a quarter, and still leaked. Then I welded two pop cans together, and threw the condenser away.
