Heat-Set Insert Installation tip for #4-40, M3, and M5 Inserts

Heat-Set Insert Installation tip for #4-40, M3, and M5 Inserts Compatible with 1/4" Weller (ST Series Tips) and Hakko Soldering Irons. Used for Connecting 3D Printed Parts. with 20 x #4-40 Inserts.
- Longer shank than McMaster tip allows you to reach deeper into 3D printed parts and tight corners to install heat-set inserts without touching your iron and melting the plastic
- Installation tip works better than soldering iron tip since conical tips can catch on the insert and accidentally pull the insert out while melting the plastic and ruining the part.
- One tip works for #4-40 and M3 and the other tip works for M5 inserts for same price as one McMaster tip. More types of inserts and better reach than other installation tips. #4/M3 tip works okay for #6 and M4 inserts, but just not a perfect fit...still better than a soldering iron. Qty 20 x #4-40 x 0.135" (short) brass inserts included. If you need more inserts, search ASIN: B07BH5X252 for a pack of 50 #4-40 inserts.
- Tips are compatible with many 1/4" Weller ST tips, internal ceramic heaters of many Hakko models. No other tip is compatible with as many soldering irons. McMaster tip is not at all compatible with Hakko irons. These installation tips slide over the ceramic heating element of the Hakko irons, just like the soldering iron tip, while still fitting in the 1/4" chamber of Weller irons with ST series tips. We have not tested every possible soldering iron. Weller has dozens of models, please check.
- Qty 20 #4-40 x 0.135" (short) inserts included. A must-have for every 3D printer toolbox. Made in Colorado, USA. Not intended to be used for soldering. Soldering iron not included. If you just want the tips and no inserts, search Amazon ASN: B078K72615 . Questions and answers on that listing also apply to this one.
Heat set inserts are a great way to improve connection strength between 3D printed parts. However, if you have tried to set heat-set inserts in your plastic or 3D printed part with your soldering iron, you may have had the frustration of pushing the insert in only to have it come right back out stuck to your soldering iron and ruining your part in the process. Most soldering iron tips can catch on the rim of the insert causing it to stick on the iron when you pull the iron out. If you use the "horizontal method" it's hard to know the insert is straight. Our insert tips have a vertical wall that solves that problem. The iron pulls right out after pressing the hot insert. Because the shoulder is square it's easier to know if the insert is square in the piece, something that's harder to control with a conical soldering tip. The shank is much longer (0.75") and narrower than what you get with the McMaster-Carr insert tip (only 0.25" long), allowing you to set small inserts into corners of parts without melting the side of the part. This is especially useful if you're mounting a circuit board in a 3D printed box or doing a mounting that requires the insert to come close to the edge of the part. Compatibility with 1/4" Weller insert and set screw style and internal ceramic heating element units like Hakko hopefully will let you use the iron you already own. These tips are 1.6" (40 mm) long with the tip portion about 0.75" (19mm). There is a 5/32" internal cavity for ceramic heaters. On Weller irons for ST series tips, the 1/4" shank can be extended as far as the set screw will allow. On Hakko irons, the 0.75" is the reach with 1/4" clearance. Two tips included, one for #4-40 and M3 and the other for M5 inserts. ****Not tested with every possible soldering iron. Not all Wellers have 1/4" barrels, so measure yours first.**** Two tips included, one for #4-40 and M3 and the other for M5 inserts. This version comes with 20 #4-40x0.135" inserts to get you going.
