Haha I didn't even think about that. I have been ding it so long I have developed ways to use just my hands, I can actually hold objects with thumb and fore finger and feed solder with pinky and ring finger. I have had people watch me solder and ask " doesn't that burn your fingers?" I tell them yup and they can't believe I do it. I just say you do what you have to do to get the job done. That technique is one reason I prefer the 63/37 solder over 60/40, it solidifies faster and means I burn fingers less.
I will see about adding that tip in there.
