The Accessory kit provides you with essential tools needed for electronic soldering projects and can be used with weller soldering irons, guns and stations. This one has a soft rubbery silicon cover that can be placed sitting upright or pressed into a holding spot and you don't have to worry about the brass mesh inside touching other circuits accidentally. It allows you to squeeze it while rotating the iron in the brass sponge. The silicone holder effectively keeps the sponge in place for cleaning and isn't impacted by the heat of the iron itself.

The hakko tip cleaner should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It is a must-have cleaning setup for your soldering kit. It will last many years plus cleans up easy as well. The unit is lightweight, but a few washers in the bottom help keep it in place, along with its rubber feet. The cleaning wire is abrasive enough to clean all the solder and oxidization off the tip but soft enough to not damage it.
The bottom comes off (its attached just firmly enough that you don't need to worry about it), and you can empty it on the trash. It cleans well and convenient to use. It will not reduce the tip temperature.
Why We Like This:
Effective and simple, major improvement over wet sponge
High quality, easy to clean, superior to wet sponge methods
Works pretty well at knocking extra solder from iron
