Thanks billy, I replied back. I hope this nightmare is over, at least for a little while. I have a great iron, but I cant find tips for it. This is the 3rd iron ive had to buy, and now they dont sell tips, it seems like an easy replacement Im just not looking in the right place I guess. but I wanted to get a decent brand that sells replacement parts that are easily accessible. I just a 6 mm x 75 mm pencil tip.
