The guy in the vid must have a 10000 watt iron to do it that fast. I can barely get the end of the cell warm enough to melt solder... and I do not want to heat the entire cell to liquid hot...

I doubt the packs in the vid could hold up to a screwdriver prying the tabs up, that is my test when I make packs with bars.

The large tip is what really helps to as it "stores" more heat energy
