Review on πŸ”§ Hakko FS100-01 Tip Cleaning Paste 10g for FT-700: Limited Edition Solution for Effective Tip Maintenance by Adewole Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Should call this pasta "miracle "!

I recently messed up my favorite Hakko tip by foolishly contaminating it with something (probably silicone) that resisted any attempt to clean and re-tin it so it would accept solder again. I've even tried cleaning the tip with a Scotchbrite sponge and then using the Thermaltronics Tip-Tinner (which is a decent product in itself) but that didn't help. I thought this tip didn't work, but I decided to try Hakko Cleaning Paste before I gave up. IMPRESSIVE! A 3 second dip in Hakko paste (with tip at 600F), then a quick wipe with a cleaning wire pad and damp sponge and the tip is like new again. I can hardly believe it! I'm definitely a fan!

Pros
  • Contains no diammonium phosphate to reduce tip life.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
