I checked him out first but he has none listed and I new it within the week. Otherwise it will have to be sent o/s and will just make it too much.

I've had the one from Bass-Pro for several years. It does have interchangeable tips, still available at Bass-Pro. I bought the interchangeable tip, and although having bent the original tip several times (dropping), it straightened back out and is perfectly serviceable. It is a one-battery model. The battery is replaceable. I prefer it to the two-battery models because it doesn't get as hot. In my clumsy hands, that is an advantage. It fits my style better. The two-battery models get instant high heat and I tend to burn things around them I didn't intend to. (But myself..........yet!). I was given a couple of these by a podiatrist (Buck knows who I am talking about). I don't think they have replaceable batteries. They were meant to be used and tossed. If you did production tying, the instant heat feature would be nice. I have to wait a few seconds for the single-battery model to heat up (one to ten, depending on the freshness of the battery). The one I like is "PowerZap" brand. But that's simply my personal preference. Joyce prefers the two-battery model. Obviously they both do the job well. I have even used mine to remove the 'fuzz' from a rod-wrapping-gone-wrong. It works about half the time. The other half I 'zap' the winding and have to re-do the whole thing, which is what should be done anyway! Allan -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
