^ I noticed that. I thought maybe it was a good thing to feed the solder slightly off the tip. Then you could squeeze the solder between the joint and tip, like by simply using your hand-eye coordination. OTOH, every robotic soldering setup I have seen feeds the solder right onto the tip. But this is usually a huge bevel tip. A pointy tip with crude solder feed is going to have problems, since it will have a tendency to extremes, leaving either too much or too little solder on a joint and very little capability to remove bridges.
I see this being a very useful tool for specific things. Sex on a stick, though? That is funny.
