So a few years ago I was trying to replace the tip on my soldering iron, and instead of buying one I went the DIY route. I looked around the garage to see what I can make the tip out of, and settled on a thick masonry nail. Those nails are tough if they can punch 3" into concrete.
So I've grinded into the shape I want and have used it ever since. Years later it is still as sharp as ever. I've left the iron on for long time, used harsh rosin, etc. No delicate nickel plate on surface either. It seems indestructible.
Will Weller send an assassin now?
