Swap one onto your iron in place of a normal soldering tip and it turns the iron into a proper heat-set insert tool, so inserts go into your 3D prints straight and centred every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Use a Dedicated Insert Tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePressing an insert in with a standard pointed soldering tip works, but only just. The point sits loosely in the insert, heats it unevenly and lets it tip over as it sinks, so you end up with crooked threads and plastic smeared up into the bore. A heat-set tip has a stepped nose sized to the insert, so it locates inside the insert, holds it square and heats it evenly all the way round. The result is an insert that sits flush and straight, with clean threads ready for the bolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is in the Set\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 brass tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e M2, M3, M4, M5, M6 and M8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne tip per insert size\u003c\/strong\u003e, so each insert sits snugly on the matching nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrass construction\u003c\/strong\u003e, which carries heat well from the iron into the insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: this set includes the tips only.
