Hakko T18S3P Tip for Fx-888 Station, 5.2mm

So far so good. Used it a number of times with no problems.

THESE FIT OLD HAKKO EQUIPMENT AND ARE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE DISCONTINUED 900M-T TIPS. Excellent tip. I have quite a few smaller 900M-T tips for fine work, but this 5.2mm T-18 tip is fabulous for heavy-gauge lithium-polymer batteries. I solder battery connectors to 10 and 12 gauge wires, and this is the tip for that job. Heats quickly, thoroughly, and is a must for those fat wires. Since Hakko doesnt market the 900M-T tips any longer, it was good to find that the T-18 tips are an exact replacement (length and tube diameter) for my old Hakko iron and station.

Serious tip for serious connectors.

As advertised

Great tip for all of my R/C soldering needs!! Hakko makes some of the best if not the best soldering equipment out there!

I bought this to solder connections for RC cars, and it does an amazing job. Initially, I thought Id try to get through the job with the needle point soldering tip that comes standard on pretty much all soldering irons. Basically, I made a mess of it. The wires I was soldering were 12 gauge, and the small tip just didnt transfer heat well enough. I bought this tip after reading reviews, and the difference it made was incredible. Its obviously a high quality tip and it looks like it will last a very long time. Solder joints almost look professional! Truly this made a technical job so much easier, and I cant recommend it enough. Also, this does fir the Radio Shack Pro-Line soldering station perfectly.

Great quality solder tips. Pre-tinned so solder sticks perfectly right from the start.

Wow, I thought soldering was a chore till I found the hakko gear. Now I love it. I literally soldered up by hand 4000+ lithium batteries over the beginning of covid ( isolation issues) with this tip and I just replaced it 3 years later and hundreds of hours running and 20,000 solder touches latter. The first I burned through but my first other shack brand and Wellers never would have gone this far.

Product arrived sooner than expected. Appears to be genuine; good value.

Great!
