The things I like about the pad cup heater:
1) It doesn't stay hot.
2) Electricity doesn't flow until contacts connect to key cup.
3) Heats quickly without burning pads.
4) More control over heat.
5) Can be used to help free rusted pivots and rods without scorching wood.
6) Graphite contacts last a long time so long as you don't get careless and break them.
7) Touch piece is VERY lightweight and easy to control vs holding heavy solder gun.
8) Heat doesn't discolor silver plate after buffing. Gas flame can dull the silver plate finish after the polishing process.
Bill, I heat the pad cup either way: open pads in the open position, closed pads in the closed position. It only takes about a count to 5 for small pads (upper joint) and about 8 to 10 on lower joint pad cups.
