### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect OEM solder iron tip.
*by M***R on June 6, 2019*

Perfect fit. Exactly as described. Would buy it again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be Careful with the Tip!
*by M***. on July 30, 2025*

This soldering tip is used on my Velleman Adjustable Soldering Station. Model VTSS5U. These tips are made out of ceramic with a copper tip. Works great. But I found out you need to be careful using 600 grit sandpaper to clean the tip. Because the tip has a tinning process done to it. Which when intact the tip works great. But if you burnish the tip with 600 grit sandpaper and a sponge. You will remove this tin film. Then no matter how hot you turn the station up. It won't melt the solder. I found that they make a Tinning product made by Thermaltronics. Which will retin the tip again. I bought a new tip. But I retinned my other tips (Which I thought were bad.) & the process worked!
