3/8 Chisel Tip for Hakko 456/16The 3/8" chisel tip is my favorite for general purpose soldering. Being beefier than the standard 3/16" tip it has a greater mass for more heat holding power. Some folks feel they have more control over a narrow tip, but frankly, I solder with the corner of the tip. Whether the tip is 3/16" wide or 3 inches wide, a corner is a corner! Only in rare instances where you need to actually tuck the whole tip into a tight space will you really need a narrow tip. The rest of the time you get the advantage of having a larger "heat pipe" to conduct heat freely from the heater to the work. ONE PER PACKAGE
