Introduction
Benjamin Franklin once said that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and that’s no different when it comes to keeping your soldering iron tip in working condition.


The working surface of soldering iron tips are generally plated with iron due to its conductive abilities.

 Once that iron coating is damaged, it's gone for good. Extending the life of iron tips is all about keeping that iron coating intact for as long as possible.

A well-maintained soldering iron tip can last for years, and the biggest factor in tip lifespan and effective soldering is keeping it cleaned and tinned. Use this guide to keep your tip in tip-top shape.
