Hello ST7.

It’s kinda lonely and sad when I get a bit geeky over receiving 2 new soldering iron tips, right?

That’s what I just did when I opened one of the packages in the mail today. I got excited over receiving two (2) new Well ST7 tips for my soldering iron.

For those of you not in the know, ST7s are super tiny pencil point tips and are a must for working with small circuits, tiny spaces, etc.

You forget how lovely those tips are until they start to wear down and break off. Yeah, the heat and such I guess just wears em out. My last ones, the tip would slowly bend and the point would get smaller and smaller. The last one that I’ve held onto due to having nothing as small on hand, is a nub now seriously. Trying to solder a standard IC or anything really is a pain without it.

For me, anyway. Maybe you have steady hands and sharp soldering skills. I don’t. I am the guy who muddles his way thru, fat fingers and all. :D
