I work in musical instrument repair and we have a tool just like that, but much larger. Basically it has 2 small (and very fragile) solid-carbon tips. When you touch the tips to the metal, it creates a circuit, and the high resistance from the carbon tips creates a lot of heat. Once the current is broken, the heat stops. It works really well, but be sure you get extra tips because I guarantee you will break a few.
