All we need now is some manufacturer jumping in and making a soldering aid/wire cooler/noisekiller combo wire clamp and selling it to us for 10 times its cost.
Of course, we'll still buy it...

I don't know about you guys, but soldering on the wires onto a V2 endbell takes more effort and more often than not, the wires heat up to a point where they become too hot to hold, I'm wondering whether this is just an aid so that you can hold the wires onto the motor long enough to stick without burning your fingers.

Well I did cme across some posts on Team orion's forum that the V2's tab gets so hot that the solder will melt.
