Wen 222 Soldering Tips

Whether you're working on printed circuit boards or joining fine-gauge wire, using the right soldering tip will bring about excellent results. The Wen Model 222 "Hot Rod" soldering iron was first introduced in 1964 by Wen Products, a Chicago-based manufacturer of power tools and accessories. Marketed as a "fast-heating, fast-cooling, single post soldering gun," the original tool came with light-duty, medium-duty, flat iron and accessory tips for cutting plastic. While this product is discontinued, replacement tips for the Wen 222 soldering iron are still available from retailers specializing in vintage or hard-to-find parts.
  1. Light-Duty Tip

    • One of two heat-controlled, single post (or single barrel) interchangeable tips, the light-duty tip has a range of 25 to 100 watts of electrical power. The convenience of the single post design makes it easier to access tight spaces. The light-duty tip is intended for repairing small electronics components, joining fine-gauge wire, or working on hobby and craft projects.

    Medium-Duty Tip

    • One of two heat-controlled single post interchangeable tips, the medium-duty tip ranges from 100 to 200 watts of electrical power. Although this tip can carry out any light-duty soldering job, it's more practical for bigger projects that demand greater heat power, such as automotive wiring repairs.

    Flat Iron Tip

    • The flat iron tip is an extremely useful Wen accessory, well-suited for a variety of tasks, including removing dents from stainless steel. Using the flat surface of the tip, with its effective heat transfer, you can also use it for desoldering printed circuit boards or melting small metal pieces. There's no need to apply pressure -- just let the flat iron tip do the work.

    Plastic Cutting Accessory Tip

    • The plastic cutting accessory tip can be used for cutting and repairing plastic, other synthetic materials or leather. Use it to heat seal plastic bags and sleeves. It's also ideal for cutting vintage plastic wall and floor tile, which was popular in kitchens and bathrooms during the post-war period.
