I agree with the long snoot, hi. I modified the longest one I had for a 45 degree bend so that I had a 1/4 inch approx length of horizontal tip to heat up several SMD leads at once. Seemed to help.

For example: 5.2mm chisel T15-D52 1.2mm chisel T15-D12 0.2mm conical T15-BLL The long slender snoot on that conical makes it easier to see an SMD part underneath. The D24/2.4mm chisel is also nice if you want something big enough to hit a larger through hole tab, but you don't want to swap tips to get into a tight space. The colored sleeves are also nice. You can hot swap tips and the bright colors (orange, green, blue, etc) mean you can quickly grab the size you want without close inspection. Those are part# B321x, where x specifies the color. 73, Josh W6XU On 3/25/2014 6:14 PM, Phil & Debbie Salas wrote: > What tip or tips do you recommend?
