Dry soldering tip cleaner Yihua YH-08B with rosin

The Yihua YH-08B dry soldering tip cleaner is a compact accessory for regular maintenance of soldering tips. The metal cleaning insert helps remove excess solder, oxidation and other dirt created during soldering.

Cleaning is done without using water. Compared with a classic damp sponge, this means the soldering tip is not cooled down as much, helping maintain a more stable working temperature.

Rosin is also included and can be used for tip maintenance and to restore good solder wetting.
