Elenco Electronics TIPK-1 Soldering Iron Tip Package

I have to say these are a nice quality assortment of soldering tip for the Elenco SR-3B soldering iron that I purchased for only $16.19. The Elenco TIPK-1 Soldering Iron Tip Package and Elenco SR3B Soldering Iron are superior best buys at only $32.69 for both. The tips are well constructed, tin easily and don't oxidize like some of the older Ungar PL111 and Ungar PL113 tips that I used 20 years ago. A Weller WP-25 costs $42.50 and only comes with the one tip. Each Weller ST series tips costs $7.50 each. Six Weller SP Series Tips would cost $45. Before I use any soldering iron tip for the first time, I coat the tip that is NOT installed in the heating element, in Rosin Soldering Paste Flux. The Rosin Soldering Paste Flux prevents oxidation and corrosion of the soldering tip. After I tighten the knurl nut on the soldering iron barrel that holds the soldering tip in place, I then plug the soldering iron in. I IMMEDIATELY press the solder onto the tip and hold it there until the soldering iron reaches temperature and melts the solder. This prevents oxidation of the tip as well. After I am done soldering I unplug the iron, wipe the tip quickly on the sponge and then press solder onto the tip as the iron in cooling down until the tip no longer melts the solder. This prevents the soldering tip from oxidation as it cools down.

I bought and use these heads for stippling plastic, mostly on pistols. They fit okay into the cheapest soldering gun I was able to buy with just a bit of adjustment with a dremel sanding block. They are well made and the different tips give a lot of options when it comes to patterns. They heat up just as well as a solder head that was made to fit, at least for what I use them for. The fact I had to modify them slightly for my use means I took a star. If you have a solder gun and you know these will fit they are five stars easy.

6 different soldering iron tips, different sizes, chisel tip, etc... Great for anyone who likes to tinker, repair or make their own electronics. These fit any regular soldering iron easily, with these and my desoldering iron tip with bulb I'm really happy.

I have never seen tips so poorly made. They are copper inside, I can see that on the backside of the tip. So they should conduct heat OK, but the tips are quite crude looking. Like they were cast in a very crude or worn out mold. Wavy and distorted, I guess the picture does kind of show that detail. I just expected that to be the picture of each tip cropped from a photo. But that's pretty much the way they look. The fine point tip I will be able to use. The chisel tip is not flat at the contact area. These tips kinda look like they have been severely overused and then polished up and recoated. I won't be buying these again.

I only got these because the ad from Amazon said "People who bought the Weller usually bought these!!". So I bought them. THEY DON'T FIT!!! THEY ARE THE WRONG TYPE!! So, don't buy them for a Weller iron because they won't fit, and because they look really cheap, like most stuff from China. The guy who shipped them even couldn't believe Amazon was still doing this as I was the 10th guy to have to return them. He wasn't happy. But he took good care of me. Dave B.

I bought these without giving the image a good look over. These will NOT fit an Aoyue 937+ soldering station. They seem to be quality tips, but make sure they will fit you iron before you place your order.

I bought these as replacement tips, for my Tenma model 21-1590 soldering station. They work and fit perfectly. They are also much less expensive than the Tenma-branded tips. This solder station is over 20 years old, and is still being sold under several brand names, which means that these will fit numerous brands and model numbers. Just be sure to check that your soldering station is identical to this one, before ordering them.

Contains tips of varying types. I probably won't end up using half of them, but there are some fine-work tips included that I will probably make use of. They seem high-quality, but I won't get to test them out until my current tip is no longer workable.

Worked just fine

grate item, bit pricy but that is the cost of doing the job right

Exactly as presented
