[Boatanchors] Weller Soldering tips

[David Knepper]

I went to my local Radio Shack store today and was pleasantly surprised to find Weller soldering tips for both the light (8200) and heavy duty (D550) guns.  Price for two tips for both guns was slightly less than $2.00.

In the Mouser catalog they are listed at a price of $4.47 for two.

Incidentally, I installed the Radio Shack tips in both of my Weller guns and they seem to work fine.  

I just bet that someone is going to say that the Radio Shack tips are inferior.

Thank you
