It does, but because your hand is so far away from the part that's getting heated up, you don't notice it. As Philip said, ferrous tools will distort the inductance of the coil, causing the adjustments to be different when the tool is inserted than when it's removed, so it would be best to use plastic tools anyway. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
