The Hakko 599B Tip Cleaner is the ideal cleaning companion for all your soldering tools. The curly brass wire is tough enough to scrub residual solder from your soldering tools without your soldering iron becoming cool. The 599B is the perfect alternative to using a damp sponge.
Features:
Cleans your soldering iron tips without water
Shell design keeps the solder from splattering
It will not reduce the tip temperature
This is a great alternative to the conventional wet/damp sponge
