    Quoted from terryb:

    I agree on the chisel tip, the conical ones are worthless.
    I typically use chisel tips in the following sizes: .0625", .125" and .187". The smallest tip is for IC's (it won't bridge the gap between leads) and small transistors. The next tip is for larger (driver) transistors and the last is for bridge rectifiers and under-playfield work.

    I find with my hakko that i need to nearly lay it on its side to solder with it. I thought that is how you were supposed to use the conical tips that way. I must say I prefer the chisel tip of my old weller but not gotten around to replacing the tip on the hakko.
