Soldering Iron Tips
« on: March 26, 2011, »
Anyone know a good place to buy soldering iron tips? Our local Lowe's & Home depot do not have them, I had to go to Sears & theirs are the cheap ones where the tip burns off in an hour or two.
What are the best type tips?
              Thanks Mike

Personally I like the iron Clad tips, put in a pinch I have been known to make them out of solid copper wire.

Ebay has been good to find the tips that I use. I have also had some luck with electronic stores. 

mouser and digi-key also carry tips.
