Yeah, soldering guns get EXTREMELY hot... if you've ever had liquid solder fall onto your hand or arm, you know that.
But when it is heated it gets red. Did you not see the redness on the coils??!!
Ur, they get very hot otherwise they wouldn't be much use, lol, I use the coils of pre-fluxed solder, I guess you do too, years ago you'd have to heat the solder in a Bunsen burner, & there were only clumsy "bars" of solder & tins of solder to dip the non-electric iron into, plenty of burn-scarred hands then, even on professionals on factory production lines! [ouch]So, today I was playing around just de-soldering the componets on a crappy DVD player.. What can I say, thats how I spend my free time.. Either that, or be on the PC for days straight... So, it was actually my first time trying to de-solder things.. It was fun, to say the least. Pulling all the resistors off and reading their color bands to see what Ohm rating they have.. I'm hardcore like that. I'll test them with a multimeter in a few days...
So, heres what happened. I was doing a pretty good job... Then I tried to do a capacitor... well, it had a fairly strong solder joint.. so, i was applying a little bit of force with the soldering gun (mabye a little more than i should have) when my hand i was holding the gun with slipped... needless to say, i have a V shaped burn on my left thumb... I saw it get burned, but I didnt even feel it. It burned through the top layer and halfway through the second layer of skin instantly... amazing, i must say... so, yeah.... if you ever use a soldering gun or any soldering equipment for that matter, be careful. dont apply too much force.. also dont try to do anything after having 2 different types of energy drink.. especially if it makes you a little twitchy

Thats happened a few times before and yeah it hurts real bad
I have also been burnt by hot glue guns countless times that hurts too , and well I did products at school which i pretty much making stuff out of wood and you get loads of little scratches and scrapes there but the worst thing i ever did was touch some big ass hole saw just after cutting through some 9mm mdf , man did that hurt for a few days after , i dont know why i didnt pull my hand away , Mind you it was after a long day at school i guess
Ouch! I've never had the unfortunate mishap of being hurt by a saw, but I've been hurt by hot glue guns, yes. That hurt real bad, and ripped the first few layers of my skin right off when my fingers got binded together by the nearly instant binding glue.
My brother did that once when he was younger. He thought the lighter didn't work when the car was turned off. Needless to say, he stuck his finger on it and got burned real bad.well i thought a cigarrete lighter in my bro's car didnt work so after my bro pushed on it(heating it up) i thouched it, i just heard the tssst i didnt feel anything.
you dont feel anything because you pull it off before it gets to lower levels of your skin.
soldering iron.. not gun.. over here at least.
