[Vwdiesel] Plastic welder?

[James Hansen]

I didn't look at it, but it's a soldering iron with some plastic filer media
and a special iron shaped tip?  Yeah, they work, I have one, but technique
is like tig welding titanium... to say it's ALL technique, very little to do
with the equipment.  Fixes stuff like a polyethylene sprayer tank well, but
you really need to preheat with a heat gun as well to do a proper job.  Not
something you could use for say a plastic dash panel easily.

On EBay, #4356280339 for $159.
Anyone know if these things work? I've never heard of one before...
Not that I'd buy it, just curious.
