well, bought a 140/100 watt gun and tips. The standard tips fell
apart at the tip. As if the tips were soldered together. Very funny
HaHa.

Is there a heavier duty tip for the 140/100 watt gun ?

I used one in HS that would blow a hole thru the fridge door. This
gun is not that. Nor did I experience tip failure.

opinions ?

The Weller 8200 isn't much use IMO. I have its big brother, the D550,
which I use for making FR4 shield boxes, soldering to brass or copper
stock, that sort of stuff.
