Used for connecting 3D printed parts: desertcart.com: Tools & Home Improvement ## Features - Designed and manufactured in the USA. The original long shank tip for the Hakko FX888D iron. If you see others with these shapes not made by Virtjoule, they are copy cats. Longer shank than other tips 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 the other tip works for M5 inserts for same price as a single tip from other vendors. More types of inserts and better reach than other installation tips. #4 tip works okay for #6 and M4 inserts, but just not a perfect fit...still better than a soldering iron.
