It creates the heat right in the proprietary tip material, making the tool 20 times more efficient than the average conventional soldering iron. The instantaneous heating (up to 800 degrees F in about 1 second) and cooling (cools to the touch in about 3 seconds) makes the soldering tool fast and safe to use. People who use the Cold Heat Soldering Tool are far less likely to burn themselves and there is no loss of productivity due to waiting for the tool to warm up.
