I solder in tight areas with small electrical components so I need a pen-like iron. What is the size of the iron (compared to Weller SP12)?

I don't have a Weller SP12 so I am unable to speak on that. I use this iron primarily for PCB work on pinball boards. I have had no problems getting into areas with very close traces, also no issues with in situ work on coils and switches under the play field, its pretty tight and crowded under there.Hope that helps.

Just slightly larger than the sp12, however not enough to notice. I solder in tight places a lot and love this. Also, the tips last forever.

I think you are asking the size and shape of the tip on the soldering iron. The one I have is like a flat headed screw driver only smaller. It is smaller than the tip on the other soldering irons I have tired. I find it is much better for making soldering lines on my stained glass, just be careful to adjust the temp of the iron. Hope this helps.

The range on the soldering iron is 200C-480C (392F-896F), so it should be suitable for smaller devices for which you would use a 15 watt pencil iron. Just double check to make sure the temperature your pencil iron operates at is within that range and you should be good to go.

This soldering iron does not have replaceable tips. It is a solid unit. It only 'looks' like one of Weller's regular replaceable tip irons.

It's a small, possibly 1/16th inch chisel tip. small enough for P.C. boards but too small for big soldering jobs that require a lot of heat transfer

It's a standard tip for these gas soldering iron, since manufactures are different, so i m not for sure. For my experience, i have seem three different gas soldering iron use the same size tip, this s all i know.

I use 150watt soldering iron but I also use a 25watt soldering iron with silver solder.but what are you soldering???

No, the tip is way to large and the heat too high for that type of work. I would buy a variable heat pencil style soldering iron.

Not sure if it is the same as the 852D+, as that says 700W on it (for the entire unit). Careful, as the soldering tool is able to get hot enough to melt itself- I was very surprised, at first, but not so surprised after looking at how it is constructed, with metal very near the heated end embedded in the plastic. Something to pay close attention to. I have never had a soldering iron do that, these are not built the same as our old workhorse Weller's, but for the price.... These can get VERY hot!

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.

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.

Don't have the dimensions on me but I will tell you what I used to cut out the hole in a project box. I used a butane soldering iron. They come with various tips, I used the rope cutting tip. I just grinned it down to a thin blade-like tip and it works great. As for the little ears I just cut into the project box with a blade. They fit perfect and snug.

It's a normal size of a flat iron! The mini one is Edward's mini flat iron!

I used it with a Weller soldering gun to repair a leak in a stainless steel pan. It worked very well. The type of iron/gun that you need will depend on what you are soldering since you need to raise the temperature of the item to the melting temp, but it should work fine.

It's a good 12" . . . wish I had asked that question before I bought it ;) Be glad it's too long for you as when I'm using steam, water drips on my garments and make wet spots. Not a fan of this iron.

Yes this is correct. The steel is 0.6mm thick. The difference is that you are looking at a small pencil lead whereas this is sheet metal. It is not as thin as you may be thinking.

Despite the "Thin-Tip High Precision" line in the description, the tip appears to be the same size as the regular-length stylus. I'd say it's about the diameter of a pencil eraser - perhaps 3/16" in dia - but rounded into a perfect hemisphere. I'd had no problems hitting some pretty small spots on the screen however so I'm not sure what a "high-precision" tip would offer. Either way it's certainly smaller than the end of my finger!More found on web:Compared with regular capacitive stylus tips, The Friendly Swede thin tip is more narrow BUT not to be confused with fine point stylus tip!The Friendly Swede thin tip radius - 0.12 inch Regular capacitive stylus tips - 0.20 inch Despite the "Thin-Tip High Precision" line in the description, the tip appears to be the same size as the regular-length stylus.
