What kind of information are you looking for? The tip can be replaced, but it cannot be replaced with a normal pencil tip. The point is small enough to solder pcb or wires up to about 16 gauge probably, but it doesn't get hot enough to solder large wires. I have not tried the flat tip from the other answer.

Yes I Have six of these. you can order the replacement tips online at electronic parts dealers like MCM or even from Amazon. there are only two tips available Flat and conical.

No, I have never heard of that. It is a small tip at the end but not super teeny.

There are replacement tips, and you can get those on amazon as well. One tip is good for two to four uses.

It has a sturdy tip/loop. It works as well or better than most. As long as not at full extension. KJ

It has been a while, as I recall it comes with a tip. I do not remember what size. I did buy a set of tips because of the different type of soldering I do. I wanted a small tip for surface mount components. Hope that helps.

I haven't had to replenish mine yet. When I bought it I did notice that several reviewers had posted instructions to make it easier to figure out. Just scan some of the reviews to find the tips.

I have not changed the tip ( yet) hope this doesn´t happen to me!! I would suggest you contact them directly. I just read the previous answer and sounds like very good advice.

It is a tip for a weller temp. controlled iron. I don't think weller offers a product of the type you mentioned.As I recall the tip was inexpensive as weller tips go, you may have to buy one and try. Sorry

Sorry; I can't help you. I bought this to make a repair for a friend's device. The output end was cut off and the adapter was hard wired. I don't remember the color or size of the tip.

I don't use mine on a regular basis, but if I recall there was something in the instructions regarding the tip and the function of the unit or non function as you are experiencing. I have had no issues with my unit.

The packaging seems to suggest it comes with ALL the tips. It does not. However, if the tip you need is not included, (and it wont be if your laptop is from a brand new line) they probably have designed a tip for it, and you can order it, free of charge +shipping, which is 5-10 dollars. It just takes a couple weeks. There are some things I know are included: jacks for most phones, including apple devices, and usb. All in all, theres about 10-12 tips in the package, but even if I told you whats written on the tips I couldn't tell you which devices they fit. The device works as advertised, but it does have output maximums. If you have a very high end laptop, it may not be able to keep up with that devices power needs as a charger, although it could still supplement that device.

Easy? Not really. It isnt as fine a tip as I would prefer.Do-able? Certainly, with a learning curve requiring patience until you can accurately predictThe appearance of the outcome. Doesnt always mark where you think it should be marking.

The tip provided is not for fine work. BUT the plastic tip that it comes with is interchangeable with any standard one. So you can put a tip on that is perfect for fine details.
