I bought one of these on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-soldering-STATION-SOLDER-IRON-50W-Extra-tip_W0QQitemZ290238359950QQihZ019QQcategoryZ109556QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
it works well.
The box says Sydney Electronic Tools and also shows 3 sets of
replacement tips 5-7 each in various sizes and configs on the box
These are .187" shank ferrule mounted tips.No instructions or company
info in the box. (don't need any Ebay finger-wagging). The seller is
no help. Can't find the company on Google(prolly Chinese)-just get
loads of Sydney, Australia links and 'tips on soldering' . Other links
for known brands like Weller don't offer a'kit' of tips, just
ploddingly large lists of individual tips, and don't list the shank
dia alot of the time.
Anyone have anything helpful? thanks
JR

Your soldering station is exactly the same as the Tenma unit here
(http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/21-7945), just with a different brand
name. In fact, I've seen these same units being sold by a number of vendors.
MCM has extra tips and sponges for the unit. The tip shank diameter is 0.187",
same as yours. Tips are sold individually.
I bought one of these stations a few months ago when they were on sale at around
$13 USD. It's a bit slow to heat up, but seems to do the job adequately, even
on connections to a large ground place and connections to metal chassis.

MATCH the MASS
of the tip to the MASS of the soldering area.

Thanks for that information. That sounds like a great hint!

Common error for newcomers to Soldering.
