Glue Gun: Seal Safely

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 14:17:07 -0800

If you’ve ever used a glue gun before, chances are you know glue gun burns really, really hurt. Christine Stickler, co-author of “Wild With A Glue Gun” describes the pain as “a burn that goes through your whole body and just sizzles.” To prevent this sort of permanent searing, gluers have gone through great lengths to protect themselves while using a glue gun: cotton gloves, ice baths, protective eyewear. Now, you can set the heavy artillery aside and still greatly reduce your risk of injury when you buy the ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun.

ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun

This high-tech glue gun is a vast improvement over older models, and includes smart safety features like a tip burn protector and a lower voltage power source.

Comfort of the Fan: Heated Seat is Kind to the Bottom

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 13:02:01 -0800

As the ranks of little-league sports grow in our soccer fields, hockey rinks, basketball courts, and football fields, the flock of interested spectators and family members grows with them. Every little batter needs someone to jump up and cheer wildly at a hit, and every football player needs someone to stand and look extra hard after a tackle, just to make sure they're okay. For all these moments the Bottom of the fan is at ease, and the feet are doing most of the work. Unfortunately for the Bottom however, these are the electrifying moments of sport, the results of long minutes of jockeying and positioning that the Bottom must quietly endure with the spectator seated.

Cordless Heated Seat

The Bottom, in its career of fandom will endure more than its fair share of torments. Frosty metal bleachers designed without consideration for comfort, soggy wooden bleachers that leave embarrassing wetness on inconvenient areas of the pants, or even worse, splinters. Even our professional sporting venues do not play entirely to the leisure of the Bottom.

Today though, there is a better option. There is a new and innovative way to pamper the Bottom, allowing greater effectiveness as a fan and spectator—the ColdHeat™ Cordless Heated Seat. The ColdHeat Heated Seat is made of highly advanced foam that combines with innovative heating technologies that warm the seat from the inside out. These two features lead to a pleasurable combination of softness and warmth that is ideal for long periods of sitting. Think of it as a personal oasis of warmth and comfort in a cold, hard world.

The ColdHeat Heated Seat is not just for fandom though. The ColdHeat Heated Seat is for all the places the Bottom needs a little extra comfort. Because the ColdHeat Heated Seat is so lightweight and durable, and so easily recharged and cleaned, it can be used the whole day through. Put it on your wooden breakfast chair and get a little boost not only in height, but also in comfort and confidence. Take it with you to work and use it as a heated seat in your car, then use it on top of your work chair. Even the city bus experience can be enhanced by a little extra comfort in the Bottom, easily achieved with the help of the ColdHeat Heated Seat.

Easing the burden on the bottom is beneficial for the total health of a person. It improves posture, which can alleviate back pain and clears the mind from incessant feelings of discomfort, allowing for greater focus and longevity at a task. There are no drawbacks to increasing the comfort of sitting. Sitting should be a pleasure and the period of sitting should not affect the comfort of sitting. The ColdHeat Heated Seat was created with this in mind and offers the highest quality sitting experience possible.

A fan that can bellow chants and cheers like a moose will be of no use to the team if a sore Bottom warrants frequent runs to the comfort and rest of a car seat. The ColdHeat Heated Seat allows for fans and non-fans alike to attain the highest and most portable degree of pleasure possible in a sitting experience, at a reasonable price. It would make a great gift for others or even for your own Bottom, so get off that uncomfortable seat and buy one today.

A Holiday Parable: Heated Seat Increases Comfort and Productivity

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 13:00:32 -0800

The coming holiday season brings with it a tide of seasonal entertainment, and holidays in the workplace has its own separate set of plays and movies. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is perhaps the Christmas tale that relates most closely to the workplace. Poor Bob Cratchit is forced to labor away in the freezing office of Mr. Scrooge, and all the while on an unforgiving wooden bench.

Cordless Heated Seat

For all his penny pinching, Mr. Scrooge clearly did not take the time to study reports on the relation between environmental circumstances and work productivity. If he had, he may have swayed and given in to his employee's calls for more heat. Laura Locke in her article "Linking Productivity and Energy Savings" comments on the "increased worker throughput due to more temperate working temperatures." If only Bob Cratchit could have put in that extra nugget of coal perhaps he could have kept up with his heavy workload.

Today's office environment is of course nowhere near as dire as the one Bob Cratchit worked in. Environmental factors though still play a role in worker happiness. Warmth for a worker allows for greater focus on the task at hand, as distracting feelings of discomfort are soothed and put to the background. This is part of the general principle that greater quality work is generated in a more comfortable environment.

The ColdHeat Heated Seat is a new product that brings warmth and comfort easily into the workplace, as well as many other places. The ColdHeat Heated Seat is a thin, heated foam pad that utilizes innovative heating technology to bring an extra level of comfort to the workplace. The seat is charged with an adapter and stays charged for up to 6 hours per charge.

The ColdHeat Heated Seat is suited for many types of work environments: offices, warehouses, retail stores, and outdoor work. Of course a heated seat is also great for many leisure activities, including outdoor stadiums, watching little league, camping, and hunting.

The ColdHeat Heated Seat brings an element of warmth and comfort into the workplace. So if you work for a Mr. Scrooge, fight back with the ColdHeat Heated Seat.

ColdHeat vs. the Competition: ColdHeat Exhibits Soldering Superiority

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 09:09:16 -0800

There are multiple reasons why ColdHeat products are superior to the other soldering irons on the market. To list them all would take all day, and since ColdHeat stands for efficiency, here's just a quick summary of what makes ColdHeat soldering irons special. Note: This rating scale was designed using qualities important to the handyman in all of us.

ColdHeat Pro Soldering Tool

Convenience: Unlike older soldering irons, which seal you to the spot with their constricting cords, ColdHeat cordless soldering iron allows mobility while you fuse. Relying on four batteries for power instead of a plug-in, it goes where you go to create heat quickly. Just remember to keep your ColdHeat fully loaded!

Conservation: In an age of sustainability, ColdHeat makes it possible to conserve energy when soldering with its special heat-when-you-need-it, cold-when-you-don't technology. Basically, this unique iron heats on contact and then cools immediately for an energy efficient effect.

Caution — Good solderers know its all fun and flux until someone solders themselves. Conventional soldering irons are hot, messy, and dangerous. Because it's harder to know when they're hot and when they are not, chances of obtaining painful burns are much more likely with a regular soldering iron. ColdHeat's light-infused LED lets you know the status of your soldering iron with its simple color code. White means the iron is on and red means the iron is too hot to touch. Simple, savvy and safe.

Cheap — Well, relatively. Though it is possible to get a crude soldering iron for about ten dollars, its techniques will be much more rudimentary and it will boast almost none of the benefits listed above. It's true that there is another cordless soldering iron available, the butane-powered iron, but those cost twice as much a ColdHeat iron. They also take longer to cool off, and need butane cartridges to run. So for only a cool $19.99, why not get a ColdHeat iron and save yourself the money, parts, and potential scars?

Clean — Whereas other irons' questionable heating capabilities are prone to promote messy solder blobs and streaks on the joint, ColdHeat's efficient hot-on-contact method allows for clean, tidy soldering that leaves a part that is smooth, shiny and streak-free!

These are just a few reasons why ColdHeat beats the competition! For the rest, purchase a ColdHeat soldering iron, and see for yourself what all the hype is about.

ColdHeat Cordless Glue Guns: Centerpiece of the Craft Night Comeback

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 09:08:28 -0800

In this highly technological, power- feminist millennium, fifties social throwback is making an incongruous comeback: craft nights. From knitting, to beading, to floral arrangements and jewelry making, crafts are re-emerging as one of the most fun, social, and rewarding pastimes out there. And with the new ColdHeat Freestyle, glue guns are keeping pace.

ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun

Craft making provides a great chance to chat, get creative, find inspiration, and go home at the end of the night with something to show for your time. Maybe it's a beaded necklace, maybe it's a holiday wreath, or a wooden flower pot. The joy of making crafts results in treasured trinkets you can be proud to display.

One tool essential to almost any kind of craft making is the glue gun. In the past, glue guns were a necessary evil to the art of craft making. Because they relied on a plug-in to operate, traditional glue guns could be used only at limited venues in craft stations, and their crude designs made them difficult to use for long periods of time. Glue gun burns were so frequent, many skilled crafters keep a cup of water by their side to dip their hands for periodic relief. There is no â€œitâ€ brand of glue gun, no gluing status symbol equivalent to Mod Podge paste or Singer sewing machines. Glue guns were an essential, not an accessory.

Well, that's all about to change. Soon, every savvy crafter will be packing the new craft must-have: the ColdHeat Freestyle Cordless Glue Gun. Especially designed for consumer use, this handy gadget incorporates a myriad of subtle, thoughtful features designed to put the ease back in adhesive.

To name just a few benefits, the new ColdHeat Freestyle glue gun is cordless, heats quickly, and features a comfortable new design for more pleasant, prolonged use. From the sleeve tip to prevent burns, to the sturdy new stand, to the varied light intensities for different projects, ColdHeat thought small, attending to the minute details that would create an overall positive crafting experience. Unlike other â€œcordlessâ€ glue guns, ColdHeat's Freestyle glue gun is the first cordless glue gun that gets hot and stays hot to provide consistent adhesive for your gluing needs. The sleek, lightweight design of the new ColdHeat Freestyle glue gun includes padded grips and a hand-held trigger, to help wave goodbye to achy fingers and hand strain. Not to mention the glue gun's attractive appearance and cordless capabilities are bound to enhance your mingling moxie as you craft the night away.

The ColdHeat Freestyle glue gun also features the company's trademark LED light codes, which makes using the gun super-easy. A solid green light on the charger means the battery is charged and ready to go, red means it's almost out of batteries, and amber means the glue gun is in power save mode.

The power save mode is one of the most ingenious features of the ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue gun. Since many crafters like to glue for a couple seconds, than work on something else, than go back to gluing, it would be frustrating if the glue gun just turned off during inactivity. With ColdHeat's unique power save system, after eight minutes of inactivity, the glue gun will begin cooling, but its unique motion sensor will cause the gun to begin re-heating as soon as the gun is picked back up again.

Furthermore, the ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue gun starts to melt glue in less than a minute, takes about 20-30 seconds to dry, and lasts us to 1.5 hours per battery charge. The gun takes about four hours to charge, and the custom charger is included.

Final features like the unique anti-drip feature and lower electrical voltage show that ColdHeat combines high-tech science with consumer sensitivity to create the most useful, ergonomic products around! Don't be the only one to show up at your craft circle without the awesome ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue gun! If crafts are making a comeback, ColdHeat glue guns are here to stay!

Introducing The New ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 09:05:45 -0800

Glue guns are timeless and popular tools. They are easy to use for all age groups, and come in handy from the classroom, to the construction site, to the craft room. Over the years, however-though glue guns have remained a must-have gadget- the guns have earned a shakier reputation as more and more manufacturers have been forced to recall their guns due to overheating. Once again, it's ColdHeat to the rescue.

ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun

The new ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue gun is battery-powered, cordless and carefully constructed for maximum comfort during use. This handy tool is a breeze to use, with cord-free convenience and an ergonomical design that includes a bigger trigger, a comfy grip on the back of the gun and a smooth lightweight feel. Gone are the days of gripping an uncomfortable glue gun while your finger aches from holding down the tiny trigger, and being forced to use the gun in one position because of the plug-in. The ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue gun offers adhesive at an angle, allowing you to turn the glue gun up, down, or around for gluing precision, and grip the trigger comfortably with your whole hand.

Just allow the requisite four hours to charge, pop the battery into glue gun, and you're ready to go! Another fancy feature of this latest in ColdHeat technology: the ColdHeat Freestyle glue gun also features our company's standard light code, but this time there's three lights. Solid green on the charger means the battery is charged, red means the gun is running out of batteries, and amber means the gun is in powersave mode. As you can see, ColdHeat's easy-to-understand light code takes the guesswork out of gluing.

Another attractive feature of the ColdHeat Freestyle glue gun is the built-in stand. This hardy stand helps keep your glue gun upright and in place if you need to set it down for a second. Unlike other glue gun stands, which are notoriously flimsy, the ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue gun stand really does work, keeping your gun in place to prevent wanton gluing.

Now it's just a matter of choosing the glue. Much like our variety of soldering irons, ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue guns are equipped for versatility. Our guns accommodate low temperature or all-temperature glue.

In the wake of the seemingly overnight success of our self-heating soldering irons, we racked our brain to think of the next necessary gadget in our high-tech toolbox. Much like soldering irons, glue guns are another multi-purpose tool useful in a variety of projects, from construction to crafts. Much like soldering irons, one of the most cumbersome parts of using a glue gun is the unpredictable heating pattern, resulting in blotchy, messy work and painful burns. So it was only natural that when ColdHeat planned their next project, self-heating glue guns were the logical choice.

ColdHeat focuses on bringing consumers traditionally useful tools that have been enhanced with our unique portable technology to make your every day life a little easier. By eradicating annoying occupational hazards, as we did with the soldering iron, Cold Heat is working overtime to make your life easier in little, important ways. With our new cordless glue gun, we hope to do just that.

ColdHeat's Freestyle Glue Gun Debuts to Rave Reviews

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 09:04:11 -0800

People are talking about ColdHeat's Freestyle glue gun. Or, as Gizmodo.com puts it, "Verdict: DIY-tastic." It's true. ColdHeat's Freestyle glue gun is so versatile, both novices and glue gun aficionados alike are coming out of the woodwork to applaud its perks.

ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun

This handy tool can be used for crafts, home repairs, and random acts of adhesion. For example, the folks over at Rainy Day used it to attach panels and covers and tuck cords and cables out of the way. The techie goddess at Shiny Shiny let her boyfriend use it to seal a wooden box as a gift. And, most creatively, Kevin Fine of Cool Tools used the Freestyle glue gun to glue a loose part of his running shoe, glue the end caps on stool legs, plug a leak in his snorkel, and attach a candle to a base.

The uses varied, but the response was unanimous. In every instance, this tough crowd of techies and literati raved about how superior the Freestyle glue gun was to the average glue gun. The Rainy Day staff said "ColdHeat has made (gluing) a lot easier with this cool- looking unit!" The Shiny Shiny crowd said the glue gun did "an admirable job." And in the most crowning endorsement, Fine acknowledges "This tool has changed the way I think about glue guns."

Another common observation was that unlike other glue guns, whose slow heating time and mess factor relegated them to the garage or craft closet, the Freestyle glue gun is the kind of tool to keep around all the time. Why? Couple the convenience of its cordless and quick-heating abilities, along with its diverse every day uses, and you'll be pleasantly surprised how useful the Freestyle really is.

Fine acknowledges this fact, saying, "My old glue gun got used about once every two years; this one gets used almost every day." Fine cites the quick warm-up and the relative cleanliness of the tool ("No more drips!') as his reasoning for preferring ColdHeat.

No wonder Shiny Shiny calls this glue gun "a handy little tool."

ColdHeat Freestyle Cordless Glue Gun: The Secret to Great Fatherhood

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 09:00:14 -0800

According to an article in The Calgary Sun, the secret to great fatherhood isn’t Oreo pancakes, extra underdogs, or infinite wisdom about baseball and girls.

Rather, it’s an infallible method of positively responding to that resounding child-like cry “Daddy, fix it!” that pervades your every moment of parenthood. According to columnist and father Stephen Lautens, the answer to fool-proof parenting is….a cordless glue gun! I’m going to agree, with one respectful distinction: it’s a ColdHeat Freestyle Cordless Glue Gun.

Like Lautens, I too live in a house of adorably rambunctious children with an insatiable appetite for toys of the Happy Meal variety. Unfortunately, when these two-dollars-a-pop playthings broke, it seemed my children’s hearts weren’t far behind. And in the past, I was powerless to fix either. But taking a cue from Lautens, I picked up a ColdHeat Freestyle Cordless Glue Gun, and now I’m not powerless at all. In fact, I’m my children’s hero.

Now, when my two precious rug rats come to me with their mangled Barbies and amputated tyrannosaurus rexes, all it takes is a few magic touches with the cordless glue gun before it’s Christmas all over again for my little clan.

But unlike the long-suffering father of The Calgary Sun article, I get to perform this magic without the painful glue gun burns that are the occupational hazard of past glue gun models. Not only is the amazing ColdHeat Freestyle glue gun pain-proof, it’s cordless and portable, so now I can extend my parenting magic to family vacations and trips to Grandma’s house, where, let’s face it, my kids are not averse to breaking the occasional porcelain tea cup or Precious Moments figurine. With its clean, even glue job, the ColdHeat cordless glue gun helps me bail my munchkins out before Granny is any the wiser. Forget fatherhood, I am quickly reaching saint-like proportions in my children’s eyes!

Truly though, with its comfortable trigger and controlled glue dispensing, this glue gun is virtually botch-free and definitely puts old Elmer’s to shame.

Best of all, because of the Freestyle cordless glue gun’s quicker cooling time, built-in stand, and lower electrical voltage, I have been able to say goodbye to all those painful glue gun burns of miracles past, while still maintaining my status as father-saint.

Now, instead of exhausting hours of made-up stories about “toy heaven” or running out for that second Happy Meal, I maintain my Parent-of- the-Year status with a father’s greatest secret: A ColdHeat Freestyle Cordless Glue Gun.

Brady Bunch Gone Wild: The ColdHeat Cordless Glue Gun

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 16:53:14 -0800

For the glue-gunning family, a new tool looms on the horizon. The new ColdHeat Freestyle cordless glue gun has so many features that make it family friendly: the silicon tip that minimizes chances of burns and dripping. The automatic shut off helps with those forgetful moments and fine trigger control allows precision projects. It can be used anywhere in the house since it doesn't need to be plugged in, and the battery charge can last as long as an hour and half. Forget crafting and school projects; just release your imagination. Warning: letting your imagination run wild can lead to ideas like the ones we list here, none of which should actually be tried by anyone who is not a member of a cartoon family.

ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun

Are babysitting costs just eating a hole in your budget? Then just leave the kids at home literally glued to the TV. They won't want to go anywhere, and they won't be able to even if they want to! And now that your toddler is finally able to walk, prevent them from getting into trouble; blue their Pampers to the floor.

Teenagers forever running up your cell phone bill? Glue their cell phones shut and end those pesky text message charges forever.

Moms, are you tired of picking up clutter from the floor? There's no room in the house that couldn't use a little Freestyle maintenance. Glue that clutter to the ceiling and walls and there will be no more tripping over it. The cordless Freestyle makes it a snap! Got a Joan Crawford thing about wire hangers? A few dollops from the ColdHeat Freestyle will have your clothes hanging on the walls wrinkle free. But wait, there's more for the mom who hates to cook: glue those pots and pans into the cabinets and insist on dinner out.

Tired of Dad wearing that same old ratty shirt week after week? Does he dig it out of the laundry, and even out of the trash when you've had enough? Give him a subtle hint, the Freestyle way! Glue it into the bottom of the trash bin where it belongs.

And what about Dad? How can he use the ColdHeat Freestyle? It can almost eliminate the need for Duct Tape as a repair tool. No need for a hammer and nails to hang pictures, just hot glue them to the walls. A dollop of hot glue can fix all your plumbing leaks.

Is someone in your house trying to lose weight? The cordless glue gun can be their best friend. Glue the bag of potato chips to the shelf to make them harder to get at. Glue the beer into the refrigerator. Glue the lid down on the whipped cream can, or the top of the cookie jar shut. They'll thank you for helping them control those hunger urges.

Don't forget the family dog. You're top of the food chain; don't tell us you can't have fun fooling an animal with a glue gun. Have hours of fun when you glue Fluffy's chew bone to the floor and watch him try to carry it off and bury it.

And for the family on the go, the cordless battery powered ColdHeat Freestyle in the car has endless uses. Kids taking their seatbelts off and putting themselves at risk? Not a problem! Glue them in safely and securely. If the kids' arms are glued to their sides, you won't have to hear complaints about them touching each other. Tired of hearing the age old question â€œare we there yet?â€ Glue them to the hood so they'll be the first to know when you arrive.

The uses are endless. Even though all of these suggestions are absurd and definitely shouldn't be tried, the Freestyle is truly a family friend. From crafts to home repair and remodeling, the ColdHeat Freestyle is the glue gun of choice — cordless, easy to handle — with something for everyone — even Bart Simpson.

Freestyle Review - The Crafter's Best Friend

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 16:49:57 -0800

I've been a crafter for many years. I do a lot of crafts and frequent all the local craft fairs. I use a glue gun very often. It's one of the most important tools of my trade... The type of craftwork I do is floral arrangements using dried flowers and silk flowers.

ColdHeat Freestyle Glue Gun

I was excited to try out your ColdHeat FreeStyle glue gun on a wide range of gluing tasks. It is definitely a handy glue gun and is ideal for small jobs that don't require a lot of glue. It's wonderful to not have a dangling cord getting in the way!

In preparation for an upcoming craft show, I worked on some floral arrangements where I could test your glue gun. What I found was that, for the majority of my particular applications, I need a glue gun that gives me a lot of glue, especially when I glue dry foam into a container.

I do love the portability and light weight of the FreeStyle but found that I had to work very fast with these containers because the glue was drying very quickly. This caused me to use more glue that what I'm accustomed to, to get them all done.

I do have a larger corded glue gun that takes larger glue sticks and when I squeeze it, a lot of glue comes out (sometimes a bit too much) but in the above application, the glue sticks to the foam and containers better. With the FreeStyle, it was a matter of the glue quantity and how quickly I could dispense it... I had to press and press to get enough glue to make it stick. I ended up using a lot of mini-glue sticks for this particular task, and around the hour mark, the battery was obviously starting to run down a bit, which slowed my work down. At this point, a second charged up battery would have been ideal...

Given the number of craft shows I do per year, I'm perhaps a bit of a heavier user of glue for my particular craft projects. I would have to say that your FreeStyle glue gun is excellent for finer delicate jobs, and one I'll gladly use instead of my bigger brute that isn't very convenient for intricate work. But I make several arrangements in a day so I still need a heavier duty glue gun that will stay hot the entire time I'm using it and that dispenses more when I need it fast...

If I could humbly make a suggestion --- Perhaps your company could make a second larger version of your glue gun using thicker glue sticks. I understand the trade off with such a design may be more weight, or require a bigger battery, but for a craftsperson like me working on tasks that require dispensing more glue, it would be great... I'd probably put my old brute to rest and yours would be "this crafter's best friend".

All in all, for the intended simpler craft or hobby applications, the FreeStyle is a better product than any other mini-glue guns I've seen or had opportunity to use. It definitely has its place. It's a welcome addition to the tools of my trade!
