Default We're getting old, folks...


With the soldering gun you are far more likely to be injured from a
burn.

With this device you are far more likely to be injured from the chain
reaction of 1. Getting frustrated, 2. Getting ****ed!, 3. Throwing
something due to item #2, 4. Hitting hand/fingers while in act of
throwing,



As a lad I worked part time at a TV repair shop (they were cost effective to
repair at one time . I remember the shop owner telling me how dangerous
CRTs and power supplies were to the hands; often resulting in broken bones
and bad cuts. "How does shock cause that?" I asked. "Oh, it's not the
shock - that's usually harmless. It's your reaction causing you to slam your
hand on sharp objects."
