Ma Bell spent a lot of money training me to solder. One thing you
learn is to heat the material, not the solder. Heating the solder makes
those nice shiney cold solder joints someone mentioned.

The unit does not have the power to heat even the smallest wire lug
I have tried to solder. You have to do like they show in the commercial,
which is to heat the solder, which generally makes a cold solder joint.

This should be considered an emergency tool which MIGHT get you
back to a repair station or an emergency repair in the wilderness, but
it is likely not going to be a good solder joint.
