Request a Catalog Where to Buy Call - A note about sanding it down. If you buy a new iron, don't sand it until it gets bad. Instead use light grade steel wool to polish the tip. Tips have a special metal coating that prevents corrosion and you don't want to remove it unless you have too. Reply 6 years ago.
Weller makes a tip cleaner that comes in a small tin the size of a quarter. You can find it on amazon. It works great and it's worth trying that before scraping the tip. Use plumbers flux on the hot tip to try to get them clean. Most of the flux is still acidic, just not enough to harm components "much", when you are working on old parts.
The purpose of flux is to clean oxidation of of the part, this requires some kind of acid. As a hardware verification engineer, I still see corrosion issues from no clean flux when it is not cleaned esp, when it is made in "cough cough china ". The non-lead solder paste now used has almost no corrosion resistance. The "no clean flux" does not work well with repairs of old equipment. In the 90's I worked repairing a 50Kw aircraft radars from for 6 years in the Air Force, you are going to need the strong acid based flux to work on old equipment or anything left outdoors.

Hi MordiemerM, I would personally go with the B series presuming it's not a huge element you're working with since you can still use the B series size for some not all precision work as well as the larger components without taking too long or burning anything out.

Small wire cutters suitable for trimming component leads might be damaged when trying to cut larger wires, and larger ones will not make such a neat job for printed circuit boards. Thin nose pliers: These again should be chosen to suit the type of work envisaged. Smaller ones for general circuit board work, and for more heavy duty work, larger ones may be needed.
Wire strippers: Although there are techniques for stripping wire using wire cutters, a much better option is to have some wire strippers. Good ones can be expensive, but they make the job very much easier. Solder sucker: A solder sucker is a very useful tool to have - it will enable the solder to be removed from a joint so that a component can be de-soldered for rework, etc. Helping hand for soldering One of the most useful items on top of the basic tools for soldering is an item called helping hands.
As set of helping hands enables a wire or component to be held in position ready to be soldered. PCB clamp for soldering There are other instances where a complete printed circuit board needs to be held in place so that it can be soldered.
