Hello Sir, I am French 🇫🇷 and fortunately TH-cam allows you to activate the subtitles of your videos. I understand everything thanks to you! I just started in micro welding and I'm doing well. However, I need some explanations to understand certain phenomena and that's where your explanations are valuable to me. I loved this explanation video. It expands the explanation of one of your videos on replacing a Nintendo Switch charging connector. You said that "you had to change the tip of your soldering iron to suck the tin into the fixing hole of the legs. If the tip is not the right size, the heat ratio will be unbalanced. Even when heating to 1000 degrees, tin will not melt. Therefore, it is impossible to suck it up with the braid to desolder". This allowed me to understand why I had a lot of trouble sucking tin! A big thank you to you because I also appreciate your videos for the quality and clarity of your explanations during your interventions. I would like to see other videos of this type and above all, keep making detailed videos, it's very important! A big thank you for everything! 👍👍👍👍😉😉😉 Ceddine TEL’A’DOM - From France

I find the actually metal quality makes a big difference. I have a Weller original tip that stays shiny and solder wets up against it well. Ali express tips go brown with oxide and need constant wiping and the solder does not wet well. The golden rule. Crap quality equipment gets a crap ending. Thanks. Your a godsend to society
Thanks, this was such an eye opener! As a beginner you are really wondering whether you're dumb or your equipment is trash. If something feels unreasonably difficult or complicated, you're missing something.
Brilliant video! Making use of the thermal cam to show heat spread on the board really gets the point across about choosing right tip for the job in hand. Awesome, TY!
I've watched many videos to try to get a good idea which tips I need. This is the most informative video I could find. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great video!! Thank you!! I forgot I changed the tip and was getting nowhere recently. Watched this and realised that the slim tip wasn’t conducting enough heat and that’s why my solder wasn’t melting. I spent ages and coolant understand why, thought the slim tip was what I needed for accuracy but no. Thank you!!
Heat inercy, big components diffuse the heat so much that the temperature of the tip decreases. Big ones have more inertia and cool slower therefore heat components better. It's like using a big hammer or a small hammer to destroy a wall. Your strength doesn't change but the mass of the hammer makes the difference. Because it can store more energy.
Well explained sir! Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us. Many people don't know how much time it takes to learn how to properly do the job..
I’m very much an amateur and use amateur equipment but I was advised to use Hakko T18 tips on my cheap station. One tip costs as much as a dozen generic tips, £8-£11 from PiHut, but they are worth it. I found out the quality of the tip is nearly as important as the shape for heat transfer. The main one I use is the T18-D24 which they call a 'screwdriver' tip but it looks like a chisel to me. Then I use T18-K knife tip and a T18-B conical for tight places. These three do 99% of the things I solder and I still have my cheap ones for when needed. Also, instead of using all my tips in the same holder I have separate holders for each tip and change the all lot. It’s quicker, safer as you’re unscrewing plastic not metal and causes less damage trying to get a hot tip out. I tried using a bent tip but my soldering is mainly my simple boards I build for Arduino Nano, ESP32 and Raspberry Picos. As I said, I’m a total amateur and I’m in awe of what you do.
the demonstration with thermal camera is very instructive. I've found out your channel a few days ago and I was watching your last videos... but this old one that was suggested by youtube is very useful. Thankx for sharing
Thanks. Your stuff is always down to earth and good.Really valued the thermal cam It would be great if you could use it on ts100 and other hollow tube soldering irons with changable tips to see difference heat transfer Have got confused by the fact that the hollow tube changeable irons have "large" 65w power supplies (note your Weller is 200W) and yet people say that the heat exchange to the tips is no good, and yet TS100 has 65W power supply. Is the difference really only the fact the heating element/tip are one piece so heat is efficiently transferred. I appreciate you mainly do board repairs. For no lead boards do you need to go to above 400 degrees Some irons say they goto 480 C which is above TS100 400 degrees?
Thanks for the video. This information is really useful. Not sure if you have mentioned it but for good heat transfer the soldering iron tip needs to have been tinned correctly. I notice that the ones that you use here are all silvery and shiny which indicates the tips have been tinned.
I was soldering yesterday & after I took a break to calm down, I figured I was using the wrong tip so I'll try soldering today with a better tip for what I'm doing
Thank you so much for this video 🙏❤️.... It's really helpful for me to understand soldering 🙏❤️ concept because no one will tell this to me. 🙏🔥 Please make more videos like this 🙏. I'm student From India 🙏
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and your expirence. Just a quesyion... Any changes or improvement after a couple of years since that you recorded this video ?
I go 85% normal chisel for heat transfer properties. 5% differently bent chisels (sideways etc.) and that 10% is specialty tips like spades (very VERY wide cartridges) or some such weird contraptions... spoon is amazing for drag soldering etc. but 85% chisel and I can do almost anything as long as leads are accessible. Done even some QFN's with basic chisel from Weller WHS-40 consumer soldering station. As long as you have access to the pads and enough flux, you can move mountains... :D
I really only use two tips, bevel and super fine conical, I also have a knife one that came with my iron, it is sometimes useful but mainly the bevel is my main, I use bevel over the chisel because it is sharper on one side but has bigger surface area on the other side, its great, and the fine conical 0.2mm tip is for super fine smd stuff
Thanks for sharing your knowledge it us 👍 i was having this dilema and this vídeo clarified me. Keep up with the good work and with this fantastic channel 🤜🤛
very much thank you for giving us amazing tips. i really appreciate and always watching you're videos and learned a lot to you sir. thank you so much You're my inspiration
I got the one of older Weller wtcp-s that have magnstat I think it have 1mm tip can't remember the model but I know it heat to 370c. Only replaced the tip over a year ago still have the same soldering station over 15 years it never gave a single issue :)
@@allthegearnoidea6752 "The knife soldering iron tip comes with a slanted tip resembling the shape of a knife. It is great for drag soldering and fixing solder bridges. It is not impossible to do point soldering with this tip, but it is considerably difficult as compared to the other tips."
Thanks for this video bro. Plz tell me how to clean the tip surface.when I clean the tip after letter work tip become black and then not working proper.
I want to get a metal bed frame and want to fill in the crevices. I notice on some metal chairs that something is used to keep the crevices look gone. Any clue what I can use? Love your video ?
great video! now i understand why i cant desolder such a small component....got so frustrated....becuz the solder melt but not coming off board easily and having hotter tip destroyed component from reuse....Great knowledge!

Think I will be re-watching this a few times to imprint it. I have a lot to learn tho I worry about if my hands are steady enough
Hi great video. Can I ask what jobs knife tips are designed for. Thanks
MUCH LOVE cant stress that enough!
I've learned to use the knife tip for everything.
Can I ask what a Knife tip is designed for. I don’t see people using them? Thanks regards Chris

Good information! thanks!
Thanks for this video bro.
Plz tell me how to clean the tip surface.when I clean the tip after letter work tip become black and then not working proper.
If you are to buy one tip, which one would it be?
Pace cateridges are expensive
I want to get a metal bed frame and want to fill in the crevices. I notice on some metal chairs that something is used to keep the crevices look gone. Any clue what I can use? Love your video ?
It is certainly an art.
Which soldering station is good to use based on your experience
Great video.
Assalam Alaykom
I really like to thankyou for the knowledge you are giving that really helps, May Allah have mercy on you. JAZAKALLAH
great video! now i understand why i cant desolder such a small component....got so frustrated....becuz the solder melt but not coming off board easily and having hotter tip destroyed component from reuse....Great knowledge!
Nice tip.
dont u usually put give small amount of tin on the tip to increase contact area?
Thanks for video, where can I get good tips. My tips get so brittle after few uses. My station is set at 480°
Thank you for Share
Talking about: Just the tip.
Are using T12 soldering iron?
Hello sir i am your biggest fan
What soldering iron are you using ?
Hello...glad i stumbled over here.......do you take questions from listeners?????....im disabled musician with lots to solder, but yes all my tips are pointed...i need a chisel tip for guitar components.....but the specs of sizes i cant find...thank you in advance.
The small tip was not as clean a the bigger one. It was pretty black. Whould it do a better job cleaned..?
Question, for hdmi port like ps4 and 5 or laptop, can i have to mix low temperature soldering wire to can remove the port ? thx Ali
What tip I should be using to solder TSSOP28 IC component ? Pitch size 0.65mm. I am looking at t12 tips.
Can you do a review of Quicko T12 - 942 soldering station ? It's getting popular among engineers.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THESE VIDEO
Good tips.
Can I ask what a knife tip is used for. My JBC micro station came with one and I have no idea what it’s designed for ?
Could you please tell me which tips to order for the weller
I watched the whole advertisement and ill share this all over👌👌👌
could you do a video doing the same thing but with different tips for hot air stations
