Hello, everyone!
It has been a while since I have been around... 2007? Yikes!
Anyway, moving swiftly on, I am having a very hard time finding soldering iron tips for my old Craftsman 45 watt soldering iron. I figure there should be enough people here who have soldering experience to help me figure this out.
The iron takes a 4.77 mm shaft x ~ 70 mm length (could be as short as 60 mm, I suppose) tip.
I ordered some tips off eBay but they were 5 mm and just a tad too thick. I then found one conical tip on eBay in the correct size (https://www.ebay.com/itm/141671817515) but I would like a chisel tip as well and I cannot find any in the right size anywhere.
Is there a site where I can sort by size and tip type? Am I really trying to do something so unique that nobody supports it? Or, am I just too thick to see the obvious error in my approach to getting new tips?
Any thoughts or ideas welcome. I am not looking to move up to a station, I just don't solder that often and mostly it is under a dashboard or inside an engine compartment.
Thank you!
