Soldering Tip Cleaner, Brass Wool Sponge with Slip-Resistant Silicone Holder - Weller WLACCBSH-02
A brass-wool soldering tip cleaner removes residual solder without adding water or sharply cooling the iron between joints. This Weller WLACCBSH-02 combines a coiled brass sponge with a slip-resistant silicone holder, creating a stable target on the workbench. A quick plunge through the center cleans oxidation and excess solder while helping the tip retain working temperature better than a wet cellulose sponge.
Use the cleaner during and after soldering, rotating the tip lightly through the coils rather than forcing or scraping it. Brass wool removes residue but does not replace correct tinning, temperature control or tip maintenance. Keep the holder on a heat-resistant surface, allow the iron to cool before storage and replace the brass insert when heavily contaminated. The documented package contains one cleaner with holder.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the soldering tip cleaned?
Insert the hot tip gently through the center of the brass coils to remove residual solder.
Does the brass sponge need water?
No. It provides dry cleaning without the temperature drop caused by a wet cellulose sponge.
What keeps the cleaner stable?
A slip-resistant silicone holder supports the brass wool on the workbench.
Does cleaning replace tinning the iron tip?
No. Continue to use correct temperature control and tinning practices in addition to removing residue.
