From the web site:
Quote:
The spark (arc) is caused electrical current passes from one half of the tip to the other. Although the tool's spark should not damage any electrical or electronic components, we recommend caution when soldering sensitive components. Also, ensure that the tool is not used in flammable or explosive environments, such such as near gas or gasoline fumes.


Um, it's a tiny arc welder. This would be like using a tig welder to work on static sensitive machines. I can't imagine even the most robust of chips surviving a close encounter with this thing...

It's taser capabilities might be worth exploring.
