Review on Weller Soldering Sponge Cleaner WLACCBS 02 by Kyle Wesener

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Brass soldering tips with dense braiding. 2 stars for a proud price.

PRODUCT DETAILS: Weller Sponge Tip Cleaner for Brass 5-Pack (WLACCBS-02) (ASIN: B08FPQYFS8): Price at time of review: $22.90 ✅ Tight weave ✅ Brand name and quality ❌ Expensive (and a 2 star -Discount for that!) *I don't know why the WELLER name makes the turned brass ball so much more expensive than the unnamed brands. I have a brass cleaner with no name and now I have Weller brand brass tip cleaning balls. Apart from the fact that WELLER's brass cleaners are perhaps a bit thicker, I don't see any difference. They both work fine. My only concern is that other grades of brass alloys are harder than WELLER grades. Brass is an alloy of primarily copper and zinc, but can be much harder than copper. You just don't know * You can use solid copper scrubbing brushes, which you can buy at any department store and are also cheaper. You can get 10 packs of pure copper scrubbers for about $10 here at Revain.

Pros
  • Tip Cooldown Protection: Maintains tip temperature compared to cellulose sponges, improving productivity and solder joint quality.
Cons
  • Great Price
