I played with my father-in-law's Radio Shaft version over Xmas. Looks like resistance soldering to me, except the tip on that thing is way more fragile than the tweezers (which I learned to solder bifurcated terminals with) the Navy used. It appears to be cast from a graphite-like substance, and they warn you not to press very hard when using it. Instead of tweezers, the tip appears to be two halfs with an insulator between .. you place the tip against the (conductive) material to be soldered.
