 Yeah guys, that be the company...problem is though, they've turned into a
 contract manufacturer, they sold their thermal strippers to (according to the
 receptionist) EIS/Com-Kyl...called my Com-Kyl rep and she didn't know what I
 was talking about. Picked-up a Marshalls catalog and lo and behold, it's in
 their catalog, listing Ungar as the maker. Did a search for Ungar, and found
 that Weller has bought out Ungar.... (pant,pant,pant)...went to Weller's web
 page, and all they list is soldering equipment.

It gets more interesting, I called the number listed in the Marshall's
catalog to find out more about this unit, only to learn that Marshall was
bought out by Avnet, asked about the thermal wire stripper listed in the
catalog, and was told that they've been obsoleted, but they didn't get them
from Ungar, but from a company called Cooper Tools. Called Cooper Tools, and
they said that it is a discontinued product. So once again:

 So here I sit all broken-hearted,
 tried to fix some strippers,
 but only_______.(fill in the blank) B^)
