Very light but works well.

Great for cleaning my soldering iron tip (compared to the sponge that came with the soldering iron). The only downside is the fact that like every other similar product I've found, the metal base of this tip cleaner is incredibly light and needs to be held with the other hand when using it. I plan on adding some lead weights to the base in the near future to fix this, but I don't see why you can't buy one that weighs a few pounds for, say, $20.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Outdated

Not as advertised. suitable for cleaning tips

Steel wool coated with copper, NOT brass. I can't give more than one star due to the deception. They showed the brand block and you got a fake without the brand logo. Also touted is the presence of a brass ball, which makes a world of difference when it comes to cleaning soldering tips, removing oxides and preventing damage. This is pure false advertising. Spend a few bucks more and make sure you have a brass gasket.

Pros
  • Welding and soldering
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Good container, bad sponge

The container I received is powder coated steel with no logos. I added a magnet and some pads on the bottom to keep it from sliding around my workspace. I am very happy with it. On the other hand, the wire sponge is not so good. It is also made of steel, but with a copper coating. I will change it to brass as soon as possible. Overall, I wasn't expecting much given the price, but I'm very happy with the container. I just wish they had a brass sponge with them.

Pros
  • Tip cleaner
Cons
  • Brief instructions

Doesn't really look like the photo (no logo, no brass wire ball). The included spiral wire definitely looks like copper instead of brass. I don't know if that matters or not, but the description definitely says "brass wire". It's a shame I didn't pay more for the one with a magnetic base, but I stuck four magnets on the E6000. I have included a picture of what I received along with a comparison of some of the brass wire balls I purchased. For those looking for something heavier, glue a heavy…

Pros
  • Soldering and soldering accessories
Cons
  • Without machine

Some people are confused about the purpose of this product.

Okay let's clear up some confusion about cleaning soldering tips. For the record, I was an instructor in the US Navy and one of the courses I conducted and taught at Trident Training Center was Soldering Techniques. First, this product is well suited for what it was designed for: a spike. I noticed some comments about the sponge. And here comes the confusion regarding the care of the soldering tip. When you attach a new tip to your iron, you will need to wrap solder around it before heating it…

Pros
  • Welding and Soldering
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
