Review on 🔧 Hakko T18S3P Tip for Fx-888 Station, 5.2mm: Enhanced Performance and Durability! by Sean Flint

The great thing is that these tips work with a radio shop model that Ratshack doesn't offer tips for. There are also several other rebranded Hakko that can use these fantastic high quality tips. I use them for large heatsinks and SMT work. HF amplifier with ultra-fast solder joints even at the highest heat. Shellfish. Obviously small lugs for surface mount, but this bit is great for large copper plates and penetrating between transformers. Because the Hakko and Radio Shack versions are ceramic with automatic functions, the tips last a very long time without wasting tin. I've even overheated a few times and it holds up well. Over 998 degrees. For hours. I guess I didn't have to buy any extra ones, it's been a year now and I'm still using the first version of each size.
