Soldering Iron Replacement bit - 0.5mm for ANTEX C15, M12, TC25 (10 bit)

Perfect small size for my son who is a beginner at soldering (ever smaller..) circuit boards. Fitted straight onto a thirty year 15 watt Antex iron. Slid off the old spring clip, took a careful twist and tug on the old bit with some pliers to get it off. Note: it is important you are careful not to bend the shaft of the soldering iron. Pull the bit straight off the end otherwise you will probably break the ceramic heating element. Cleaned up the soldering iron element tube with some isopropyl and the new one fitted on like a dream. Tinned the bit as it first heated up and it does a great job. Perfect Antex quality.

Perfect tool for the job.My Antex is getting on 50 years old and I was uncertain whether it would be suitable with its original, chisel bit.The new bit inserted easily and it is ideal for the finer work I'm now engaged in

Great item ...doing a great job as a replacement for my worn out tip.

Does what it's supposed to do.

Perfect fit for my Antex soldering iron.Have used a few times with no issues.Easy to remove/replace, though sometimes I do need to grab it with a pliers. I did move the black spring towards the handle end of the bit, roughly half way over the 'split part' of the bit. I reasoned that its purpose is to keep it securely in place and it did not seem to make sense to have it closer to the tip (as shown in the pic).5* for a quality product.

Just right for veroboard work. Brought a new lease of life to my 30-year old Antex soldering iron.

Perfect size for some fine solder-work. You can’t go wrong with Antex!

Just what I needed. Exactly right for the model railway layout. Thank you Jill
