Hakko T18 Series Chisel Pack with T18-D08/D12/D24/D32/S3 Tips Model (Japan Import)

These tips are the missing link in the question of why soldering looks so simple on a youtube video.That is because everyone who has repeatable success uses these tips. Command over any tips! Makes soldering intuitive, effective, and simple! These tips are an absolute game changer. I have been thinking soldering was some complex art form that I was somehow failing at, even though I was doing it in a text book way. The same job of soldering a 13s BMS wiring harness to my battery pack took 3 times longer than these tips and the destruction of a cheaper tip. These tips liquify soldier instantly at 650f even into a 12g wire. This makes soldiering precise, secure, and reliable. I do not generally write reviews but I just had to shout from the rooftops. I actually purchased three different soldiering tools thinking there must be something wrong with the equipment, and yet they all performed the same with the cheep tips provided. Even with tinning the tips and taking special care to abrade them; some even disintegrated and became malformed at higher temps. These tips do not need tinning (at least not after the first job. They are solid and do not become malformed. They are simple to clean and require only the slightest brush on a copper abrader or a wet sponge and is suddenly as shiny as new!

Perfect set of T18 tips for my Hakko iron. Reasonable price as well.

These tips will hold up to high heat and abuse unlike other brands.High quality and an easy recommend.

Beautiful pack. It's a little hard to tell from the images so let me break down exactly what's in here, geared toward beginners like me who are wondering what each tip is for. I'm an entry-level soldering nut working on pre-printed circuit boards and basic electronics like noisemakers, Arduino / Rasberry Pi, etc. I also dabble in some electrical work.T18-D08 - 0.8 x 14.5mm: Perfect for working with small pins under magnification. If you've ever had an issue with a tip being too large so you can't work it between the post and hole without some juggling, this is what you've been looking for.T18-D12 - 1.2 x 14.5mm: This is the tip I wanted most, it's small enough to do delicate pins but large enough to deal with most components involved in beginner electronics. For attaching resistors and chips to boards, this tip is better than the one that came with my iron. The slightly flat tip makes for better contact, but tip is so close to a point that it works on the smallest components without too much fear. This tip is a touch too small for larger components such as potentiometer legs, but for my purposes I'd rather have a tip that works well with the smallest holes and take some extra time on the few big ones.T18-D24 - 2.4 x 14.5mm and T18-D32 - 3.2 x 14.5mm: Medium-size tips that would be great for general electric work with medium-gauge wires, or attaching larger modules to circuit boards. These are too large for most of my general electronics work, but there are some components (such as tabs and items that act as heat sinks) that could require a larger piece. These will be nice if and when I need them.T18-S3 - 5.2 x 18mm: What a massive beast. This is for large parts with high thermal capacity (heat sinks) or areas where you might be using solder for some spot welding. Oversized for most applications, I'd guess this thing is for pretty heavy gauge wires or applications that need to go through a lot of lead, such as large glass soldering projects. I probably won't even need this tip, but it's better to have it than to end up needing it and not having it.Overall:

These are great and last a long time. Needed to bigger chisel to solder 10AWG wires to a flight controller. It made beautiful joints quickly.

They all look like it will fit my Soldering Iron and are in good shape.The only thing I feel its missing is a small storage container to put them in.

Works just as advertised

So with the above said, "BUY THESE SOLDER TIPS", there the best by far they have transformed me into a soldering guru I'm now getting pinpoint accurate solders you wouldn't be leave, I don't believe it, no more bargain basement cheap junk for me, buy these tips along with the HAKKO soldering iron and join me in soldering bliss, soldering is now FUN!!!! 😁.
