Q. These irons do not take the original PTAA7 tips (84-4850), as the barrel end hole is very small. (we have purchased one and it not compatible) Do you stock Weller TCP 24 volt irons that will take the PTAA7 tip that used to be fitted ' as standard'?
A. Hi R Pearce. Thank you for your question. Weller changed the design on new irons a few years back - they now take the LT series tips. However you can purchase a barrel with the larger hole separately to convert it back to the old system if you so wish.

This is a top soldering iron. It heats up and stabilises quickly and it has enough thermal capacity for all normal electronics joints. It melts Lead-free solder (85-6614 recommended) with no difficulty, using normal No 7 tips. Dont use No. 8 tips as they get too hot and wear out quickly. We have used these for many years with very little trouble.
