Description of Heat Set Inserts Compatible SP40NKUS Connecting
Designed and manufactured in the USA. The original long shank tip for the Hakko FX888D iron. If you see others with these shapes not made by Virtjoule, they are copy cats. Longer shank than other tips allows you to reach deeper into 3D printed parts and tight corners to install heat-set inserts without touching your iron and melting the plastic. Installation tip works better than soldering iron tip since conical tips can catch on the insert and accidentally pull the insert out while melting the plastic and ruining the part. Tip sizes include M2, M2.5, M3, M4, and M5. M2.5 is a popular hole size for Raspberry Pi circuit boards. M3 is a popular size for Arduino circuit boards. Compact tip cradle included to keep them together when they're not being used. Wide size range gives you lots of flexibility to choose the right insert for your 3D printing project.
