Exactly which tip is shipped with the FX-888? I want to buy a few sizes but not duplicate the one it comes with. Thanks to everyone who replied so soon!

Agree with the others. Mine is a chisel tip, about 1.8 to 2.0mm across at the tip. It's probably a T18, although D16 would be 1.2mm and mine is a bit wider than that. Personally, I would get one finer tip (for really intricate work), and one larger one for heavier work. The tip that comes with it is a good all-purpose one.

T18-D16 is what seems to have come with mine. The tip tapers to a chisel tip that is about 1/16in wide.Hope that helps, if not let me know.......Karl

I purchased mine about a month or so ago and it came with what appears to be T-18-D16. It looks like a conical shape but is actually a very small chisel. I am not using mine as I needed a larger chisel.

It looks like the T18-D16. Most of the availabe tips are in this style. It is a small chisel. I think the B is a pencil tip.

My original station came with only one fine tip (~.045" diameter or about 1 mm dia.). Then I bought one set of four (4) tips from Amazon which comes with one identical to the original fine tip (.045" dia.) plus other three (3) slightly larger and in various shapes which was good enough for me for most electronic jobs I do.

Googling 'Hakko fx888D I find that leaving off the 23YB gets a silver unit, not blue and yellow. The owner's manual is available here: http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fx888d.html Dimensions for the tips are here: http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fx888d_tips.html#productNav Copied from the newegg web site: Hakko FX888D-23BY soldering station (digital). This station improves upon and replaces the model 936-12. This is a workhorse station that will last for many years. Long tip life and easy replacement.

I have the 18-200 and have enjoyed it. If you are absolutely sure you will never go FX, the 18-200 is a good choice. For less money, I would prefer the 28-300 instead of 18-300, if you ever want to move to FX.

It is the SH-FX71. It is on backorder EVERYWHERE online!! I placed an order with Vanns.com early January and they aren't expecting any for another couple weeks. Look around though and you can find it under 100 bucks with free shipping...

Doug I just moved and I'm in the process of unpacking. I believe the tip is a F8. I do stained glass and used this tip and a F6 that I ordered online. The F8 is larger than the F6. I hope I'm correct since it's been several months since I used mine.

So does this 5 pack include the 9mm and 7mm tips? I just bought the New Hybrid stylus amPen and is the included tip 9mm?I rather have both 7mm and 9mm

it comes with one tip. for him i would recommend skew tip,a medium or small spoon shader and various size ball tips. You can get the interchangeable tip and get several sizes of ball tips for it. the shader i would recommend buying the pen not a interchangeable tip and the same with the skew.

Just FYI, I recently acquired both the VAR-A2 and VAR-G8 through Akinaiblog Japan Shop. They've added it to their regular list of items as well, so others from outside of Japan can order them. The price is a little high, about $100 shipped, but I did get both components through them. They were very good with communication and very professional. As of this writing, they have three sets of components left. Here's the link: http://www.akinaiblog.com/product/2638 -- both items for 7031 YEN and it cost me 3000 YEN shipping to the USA. They shipped it out on a Thursday and it got here Saturday... just two days! If anyone is looking for a reliable source for these two components, I recommend them.

In answer to your question here are some folks with the same concerns. http://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/hakko-fx-888-compatible-with-900m-tips/

You can order all size ear tips from tweak. I just used the one that shown and it works just fine

I bought mine from amazon, I found them here:http://www.amazon.com/Replacement-tips-Musemee-Notier-V2/dp/B00CAFSUM8/ref=pd_sim_cps_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Q8PGPN9QNRPM6AXQ1YQ .... but I believe they're out of stock. The pen usually comes with one replacement tip. So if you can't find them anywhere, I would be careful with the ones you have until they're more in stock

It has been a while, as I recall it comes with a tip. I do not remember what size. I did buy a set of tips because of the different type of soldering I do. I wanted a small tip for surface mount components. Hope that helps.

My order came with the green tips. It was exactly what I wanted. Hope this helps.
