- Longer shank than McMaster tip 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.
- One tip works for 4 40 and M3 and the other tip works for M5 inserts for same price as one McMaster tip. More types of inserts and better reach than other installation tips. 4 M3 tip works okay for 6 and M4 inserts, but just not a perfect fit...still better than a soldering iron. Search ASIN B07BH5X252 for a pack of 50 4 40 inserts.
- Tips are compatible with both 1 4 Weller irons and internal ceramic heaters of many Hakko models. No other tip is compatible with both kinds of soldering irons. McMaster tip is not at all compatible with Hakko irons. These installation tips slide over the ceramic heating element of the Hakko irons
