It is durable and precise, making it perfect for intricate soldering projects. I highly recommend this soldering tip for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient tool. Review: Just the tip, yet so much more. - The item I received is a legit Hakko product and a perfect size for through hole use. What more is there to say? Well, let’s see.... If you are eyeing low cost knock-offs and wondering “How much better can Hakko’s product possibly be?”- the answer is a lot. Also it beats buying a new wand... some of the new Hakko stations on desertcart can be had for a little bit more than a replacement wand. 9/10 it’s the tip that goes not the heating element, so you can save yourself a nice chunk of change. The conical tip is a matter of preference. You might also want to explore a wedged tip of similar size and see what you like best. Also a popular misconception: these are not something you buy just to swap in and out for different soldering duties, these are wise to replace on a regular basis. Think of them like tires - it’s “where the rubber meets the road” and is a part expected to wear and need replacing. You will know when to replace when your tip isn’t holding solder well, even after tinning. However, I swap mine out every 6 -12 months as a weekend hobbyist. When you put in a new one it’ll feel like a whole new iron. I also suggest maybe getting yourself some tip tinner, new sponges, some braid, a Soldapullt and some new copper for your wand stand while you’re at it if any of these are looking rough or you don’t have them. The average hobbyist tends to ignore this sort of thing until their station looks like it was thrown out a window into a dumpster, or they try to make due with less than any pro would consider acceptable. Paying some mind to these odds and ends makes the process so much more enjoyable and your work a lot cleaner. Hope that helps. ## Features - T-18 series soldering tip - Shape = Conical - Tip width = 0.5mm radius - Length = 14.5mm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004OR9BFU | | Additional Features | Conical shape and easy to use | | Best Sellers Rank | #102,541 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #166 in Soldering Tips | | Brand Name | Hakko | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (261) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04962615015328 | | Head Style | Conical | | Heating Element | Ceramic | | Included Components | T18-B | | Item Length | 14.5 Millimeters | | Item Type Name | Conical Soldering Tip | | Item Weight | 6.5 Grams | | Manufacturer | HAKKO Corporation | | Manufacturer Part Number | T18-B | | Model Number | T18-B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | See product details | | Specific Uses For Product | Professional | | Style Name | Foldable UV/White Beam | | UPC | 641328058146 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 480 Degrees Celsius | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hakko - **Included Components:** T18-B - **Power Source:** See product details - **Special Feature:** Conical shape and easy to use - **Specific Uses For Product:** Professional ## Images ![T18-B - Conical, 0.5mm Radius - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wctYnSrhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the width of the tip in inches?** A: It's a 0.5mm tip radius, so the diameter in inches at the tip is 1/25.4cm or 0.0155"If it helps this is a nice coarse tip which is good for generic soldering applications. This includes wires, through hole components, drag soldering for SOIC/TSSOP works OK with this also. Unless you're working with with parts very close to each other this will be fine. My three common tips are a very fine pitch chisel, a coarse chisel, and this tip. **Q: What is the shank diameter on this tip?** A: It fits my FX-8801 perfectly. If you're looking to slip it into something else, my caliper says 6.83mm or 0.269" **Q: Is this a genuine hakko product?** A: Was in same packaging that I have received other products so I would yes they are genuine ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality soldering tip *by M***A on July 20, 2025* The Hakko T18-B Conical Soldering Tip is a high-quality product that heats up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature.

I was able to solder 0402 sized components and also get heat into connections that had large heat sinks (ground connections on PCB). I had also gotten a T18-S4 tip, but this works much better for most uses. Definitely recommend this genuine Hakko tip over the garbage aftermarket tips. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hakko T18-B Conical Soldering Tip - Hakko T18BL Series Soldering Tip for FX-888/FX-8801, Conical, R 0.2 mm x 22.5 mm - American Hakko T18-I Soldering Iron TIP, I, FX-8801, 907/900M/913, Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4313181-t18-b-conical-0-5mm-radius](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4313181-t18-b-conical-0-5mm-radius) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
