HakkoAmerican T18-D12 Tip, 1.2D, Fx-8801, 907/900M/9

Simply the best! Even though 1 of these costs as much you can get a pack of 10 knock offs for you get what you pay for and it’s worth every penny. I’ve never burned out one of these tips.

Love this size chisel & my Hakko station!!

It is Hakko. I'm using it with SMD as I learn how to do it using soldering kits here on Amazon. I like their products.

I have a small 25w weller sp23l thats portable and sits in my tool box.Ya it's not big but the weller tips for this thing suck.I didn't want to buy another portable iron so i did some research and found people playing with different tips. I bought a new Weller MT1 tip and pressed this tip over it and believe me or not i've done a dozen small solder projects with this tip and it still looks newish.Takes a little longer to get to temp but for what i am doing it's ok.

Unquestionable quality. Hakko soldering irons and tips are excellent--meet the requirements of hobbyists, experimenters, and even manufacturers looking for reasonably-priced equipment. I say this as a retired NASA certified soldering instructor. (Many Moons have passed...)

There are SO many fake Made in Japan ones, especially on eBay. This one authentic and is good. I am totally impressed. The real one has the beveled metal part where the top of the tip meets with the cylinder metal part.The FAKE ones do not have that beveled part and their tips practically get chipped after 5 minutes of use. The FAKE ones have fake "Made in Japan" plastic cover but not etched onto the product itself. The FAKE ones are sold on the "unsafe" eBay stores most by sellers from China!

I was having an exercise in frustration trying to get solder to flow correctly using one of the other knock off brand .12m chisel tips. I was trying to solder 22 AWG wire to LED strip pads, and the solder just would not flow.Changed to the .12m Hakko tip, and JOY! Solder flowed perfectly, melted almost immediately, and I even turned my machine down from 325 - to 315C.I have a cheaper knock off soldering station, and using this Hakko tip it feels like a totally different machine than it did trying to use the cheapo-knock off brands.Do yourself a favor and NEVER buy those frustratingly low quality knock offs. They just don't heat well. If you don't believe me, just buy ONE Hakko tip (or Weller, etc), and see for yourself. You'll never go back to the knock offs.

These soldering iron tips are built of high quality materials and when you use them it becomes obvious. I recommend using the Hakko tips, of any configuration, with your Hakko soldering iron. Together they make soldering a pleasure.
