Recently I saw a lot of cheap soldering irons in the stores with a
conical tip. I can't think I'd ever want to use that shape but someone
must be doing so. What use does a concial tip have for
electrical/electronic work?
We've used conical tips almost exclusively in 25 years of production
soldering. The biggest advantage to conical over spade in that
environment is speed: You don't have to think about tip rotational
orientation.
