Hakko T18-Dl2 Long Chiseled Solder Tip, 2.00Mm
Hakko T18-DL2 — Long Chisel Solder Tip, 2.00mm
The Hakko T18-DL2 is a 2.00mm long chisel solder tip for the Hakko FX-888D, FX-888, and legacy 900M/936/937 series soldering stations. The extended shank length compared to standard chisel tips (DL = long chisel) provides additional reach for soldering in recessed areas, deep connectors, tall component leads, and PCB locations where a standard-length tip cannot access the joint without the handpiece body obstructing clearance. The 2.00mm chisel width balances reach with sufficient contact area for efficient heat transfer.

Soldering Tip Care Guide
- Tin before and after every use — coat the tip with fresh solder before setting the iron down and at session end to prevent oxidation.
- Use brass wire tip cleaner — plunge the tip into brass wool (Hakko 599B-02) to remove flux residue without thermal shock. Avoid wet sponges where possible.
- Re-tin immediately after cleaning — never leave a bare tip exposed at temperature; oxidation begins within seconds.
- Use tip tinner/activator on oxidized tips — if the tip dewets (solder beads off), apply tip tinner compound to restore the tinned surface.
- Keep temperature as low as practical — lower idle temperatures slow oxidation and extend tip life significantly.
- Replace tips showing cracks, pitting, or persistent dewetting — a damaged tip transfers heat poorly and produces unreliable joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a standard chisel tip (D) and a long chisel tip (DL)?
The DL designation indicates a long chisel — an extended shank length compared to the standard D-series chisel tips. The longer body provides additional reach into recessed areas, deep connector housings, tall through-hole leads, and tight board areas where the handpiece body would obstruct a standard-length tip from reaching the joint. The chisel face geometry and width function identically to a standard chisel; the difference is purely in shank length and reach.
What stations is the Hakko T18-DL2 compatible with?
The T18-DL2 is compatible with the Hakko FX-888D, FX-888, 936, 936-ESD, 937, 928, 913, 907, 907-ESD, 900M, 900M-ESD, and 703 soldering stations and irons. It is not compatible with the FX-951 (T15 series) or FX-971/FX-972 (T39 series).
How do T18 tips differ from T15 and T39 series tips?
T18 tips are designed for the FX-888D/FX-888 and legacy 900M/936 series stations. T15 tips are for the now-discontinued FX-951 station. T39 tips are for the current FX-971 and FX-972 stations. The three series are not interchangeable — always match the tip series to your specific station model.
