I grew up soldering. First I tried it with an ordinary yellow wet sponge. But let's face it, without a little abrasion you don't knock off the dirt you need on the iron tip. Not as hard as steel wool, but good enough to wet the tip, rake it into one of these, and you're shiny and clean again. I have one that came with my station but I've noticed it's getting crooked so I'll be flipping it but it might be a sign that I'll need to replace it soon. Don't know how often you really need new ones, they seem to last forever. five can be taken care of for almost a lifetime! Seriously, if you're in the PCB repair industry and want your solder joints to look like factory soldering, you'll be cleaning your tips with one of these soldering tips very often. A clean tip means a good connection.
