Review on πŸ”₯ Efficient Heat-Set Insert Installation Tip for #4-40 and M5 Inserts: Compatible with Hakko FX-888D and Weller Irons (SP40NUS) for Seamless Connection of 3D Printed Parts by William Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality T18 tip, can be adapted for 900M soldering iron

The finish of the product is much better than shown in the Revain photos. It is designed for T18 soldering iron, but can be used with a small spacer, 4mm inner diameter, 6mm outer diameter, 2mm height, such as. B. McMaster 93295A002, to fit 900M soldering irons, or simply cut the ring off the base of the 900M tip and use as a spacer (shown in the attached pictures). I have been using the mcmaster 92160A119 insert tip for many years and based on my experience I would like the dimensions of this product to be slightly different, wider tip 2.4mm, wider insert shoulder diameter 5.2mm and shorter length protruding from the solder sleeve (eliminating the second from the top area). A few tips: * Be sure to use heating inserts that have a tapered end for easier insertion, not injection molded inserts that are wide at both ends. * Don't push the insert too hard, just apply a little pressure and let the heat do the work for you.

Pros
  • Welding and soldering
Cons
  • Small things
