(Australia-NewsWire.Com, December 23, 2014 ) Moss Vale, NSW -- Whether it's a little to keep in practice as a hobby, or a lot as the expert in a business to keep the business flourishing and homes in food and fuel. This is one of those items which suit both the professional and the hobbyist.
Shield Services Online have released Tubby their new Shield Solder Tip Cleaning Tub, opening a new era in cleanliness and efficiency in soldering. This item says goodbye to the tried (and often found wanting) wet sponge and its failings: half clean tips leading to half good solder joints, thermal shock to tips leading to replacement tips and constant waiting for the tip to reheat leading to strife at home when late for dinner.
Comprising a tub (surprise, surprise) with non slip feet, filled with brass wire coil. Simply plunge the tip into the coil a couple of times and voila! A clean -- still hot -- tip.The brass filling cleans the steel tip, the tub retains the waste solder -- and since steel is harder than brass, the tip comes out unhurt, hot -- and clean.
Less bench real estate for the cleaner, a really clean -- and hot -- tip and no scrap solder left behind.
Plus the good people at Shield Services Online have provided a bonus spare brass wire pack. Inevitably the brass deteriorates with the constant cleaning process so when required one can simply replace the ageing brass coil with the spare -- which will of course, have been carefully placed in the spares drawer.
