Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Small size and shape are great, and it simplifies getting rid of excess or dirty solder. It's a ball that fits snugly into the housing. It moves around easily during cleaning because it's very lightweight.

Clean tip makes soldering process much cleaner, and aids in having a decent-looking work. No matter how cluttered a workbench is this thing is easy to spot. Now it is a much more useful tool to store screws and nuts (in the tray) until reassembly.



Cons

The only thing metal is the brass insert.

The holder is flimsy and a great disappointment. This product is lousy and certainly not worth the money.

Other than packaging and a little repair


While this kind of packaging is alright for some things the tip cleaner housing was bent partially one side

Such a simple thing but its effective and its reasonably priced


It does have some antislip foams at the base but they dont work very well
