I'll give it a try someday!
Perhaps I'll learn something new!
It doesn't have either the mass or power to hold temp when touched
to the side of a PL259...but perhaps it has some other voodoo in its' innards to get the job done. And I don't even have to buy anything new!! Always nice!
Tnx!!

With a fat clean tinned tip, a silverplated connector, a vise etc...you can probably get the job done....but as the original post mentioned...out in the
back yard, with some wind????   No Chance!!

When I first looked at my Hako and those connectors, I thought it would be as you described, but I was mistaken, and so are you. My bench is outside on my deck, and ALL of the connectors I've installed were done outside in the wind.
Most of the time, the temperature was in the 50s and 60s.
