Tip Polisher, w/ FS100-01, FT-700

A maintenance kit to renew oxidized soldering iron tips! Great for Lead-Free solder! When hand soldering with Lead-Free alloys, higher tip temperatures and highly-active fluxes causes oxidation and corrosion, which greatly decreases the life of your soldering iron tip. The Hakko FT-700 tip polisher helps increase the life of your tip by keeping it clean and free from oxidation easily and quickly. Immediately after soldering: (1) insert the tip between the two spinning polishing brushes to clean the tip and remove the oxide, then (2) dip the tip into the FS-100 lead-free chemical paste to re-tin the tip The fine powder Sn is melted immediately. After applying the Hakko FS-100 to the tip: (3) insert the tip between the spinning brushes of the FT-700 to remove the melted chemical paste, then (4) tin the tip with the solder you are currently using before placing the iron in the holder. [This prevents the flux residue of the FS-100 from the PWB - FAST and EASY way to keep your soldering iron tips clean and free from oxidation - Two spinning polishing brushes (brushes will not damage tip plating) - Lead-free chemical paste for immediate tip tinning
