Actualy just looked at that link - thise tongs are just like mine except mine are yellow.
Great for inside new expensive kitchen units etc

Have to disagree with shaun. I cant speak for what he has used but heating up and cooling down times are just like a soldering iron. When mine are cooling i just pop them on a step or back in the van on a metal tool vault.
The benefits outweigh the disadvantage, but its not every day i use them but they are great when i do...

It's true they never un-sweat in the right place, always end up the joint about cracks off 1st just always pray it doesn't all come down & im left with an open end in the ceiling to have to get at!!!
