Well, it is safe in the respect you describe, but it doesn't work very handily. In order for it to heat two separated prongs have to touch the material being soldered. This is difficult to accomplish, especially if using one hand to hold the object(s) needing soldering. Additionally, the small space between the prongs often gets filled with soldering material or filings or other stuff and has to be cleaned before it will work. I understand that a new model maybe comming on the market to correct these deficiencies...
