Hi everyone, I'm looking for a soldering tip for drag soldering as done in here: I currently have a Weller WESD51 and I got confused on the Digi-Key website for choosing the correct 'Series' for my soldering station (https://www.digikey.ca/products/en/soldering-desoldering-rework-products/soldering-desoldering-rework-tips-nozzles/270?k=&pkeyword=&pv627=76&FV=ffe0010e%2C1f140000&quantity=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&stock=1&pageSize=500). Also, is there a specific name for the soldering tip in the video other than 'mini-wave tip'? I see in the comments people calling it a 'hoof' tip but that type of tip shape doesn't exist in the list of possible tips to choose from on websites like Digi-Key. |

You are probably looking for a Gull Wing tip. That said, you can drag solder with almost any tip. IMHO the main difference in using a GW tip is that you don't have to retin the tip as often. If you are only looking to do a bit of drag soldering here and there, just go for it. I would not bother with a GW tip. |

Weller calls them flat tips. |

But as I said - it's a nice-to-have. I rarely switch to mine unless I have a lot of drag solder to do. Good flux is a much more important factor imho. |

ET Series Single Flat Solder Tip for EC1201A and PES51 Irons, .125" Maybe this? All spec for under 5.00. Informally, it is a spoon tip. Manufacturers use different names. Gullwing, flat, modified bevel. Miniwave is a Pace trademark, I think. |
