I run an old-school 936-style soldering station — the kind with a ceramic heater in the handle and a tip that slides over it. When I needed finer points for small joints, I bought this 5-pack of FEITA 900M-T-LI 900M soldering tips. They fit, they work, and they’ve held up.

Quick verdict
If you have a powerful soldering station and need precision tips, these are the ones. The 0.8mm point gets into tight joints without dumping heat everywhere, and a five-pack means you’re not babying a single tip. Two caveats: you’ll want to turn your station’s heat up a bit so the temperature actually reaches the fine point, and if you’re buying a new station anyway, get one with the heater in the tip instead. But on an old-school 936-style iron, these work as well as anything. check current price on Amazon
Why I bought them
The tip that came with my station was a chisel — fine for wires and through-hole work, wrong for anything small. I wanted a sharp point for precision soldering: small pads, tight pitch, touch-ups on boards where a chisel just bridges everything.
A five-pack for the price of one branded tip made the decision easy. These are 900M-T-LI replacements for standard 907-style irons, which is exactly what my station takes.
What they’re like to use
They fit the handle properly — slid on, seated, done. The point is genuinely fine at 0.8mm, and it stays a point. Both the outer and inner diameters match the standard 907 iron (6.5mm outer, 4.1mm inner), so there’s no wobble and no gap.
The one adjustment I had to make: turn the heat up. With a tip this thin, some of the set temperature gets lost between the heater and the point, so what worked for a chisel ran cool at the tip. Bump the dial and the joint wets fine. That’s the trade-off of a heater-in-the-handle station, and it’s not the tips’ fault — but it’s worth knowing before you conclude they’re bad.
They hold their tinning well. The listing says they’re made from oxygen-free copper with a heat-resistant coating, rated for over 20,000 joints and resistant to oxidation. I can’t count joints, but mine have kept a shiny, wettable point across many sessions with no pitting or blackening, which is what actually matters. Lead-free work is fine with them too.
Having five means I stopped hoarding. Fresh tip for a delicate job, no drama. And when one eventually wears, I’m not ordering mid-project.
One thing I’ll flag as a preference, not a flaw: a fine point is for precision, not for moving heat. If you’re soldering a fat ground plane or heavy wire, swap back to a chisel profile and the work goes faster. I keep both profiles in the stand and reach for whichever the joint needs.

Who should skip them
If you’re shopping for a new soldering setup, skip these and buy a station with the heater built into the tip — those heat faster and hold temperature better at fine points, and that’s a real upgrade. These are a fit for the station you already own. And if you only do chunky wires and connectors, a point tip is the wrong shape; get a chisel.
FAQ
Will these fit my soldering station?
They fit standard 907-style irons with a 6.5mm outer and 4.1mm inner diameter, and the listing names FEITA, ATTEN, QUICK, Aoyue, and Yihua 936, 852D+, 858D, and 8586 stations. The sure test is to pull your current tip and measure the sleeve. If it’s in that range, they seat perfectly — mine do.
Why did I have to turn the heat up?
Thin tips put more distance between the heater and the working end, so they run cooler than a chisel at the same dial setting. I bumped mine up and tinning was fine again. If a tip feels “weak,” raise the temperature before blaming the tip — that’s usually the whole issue on heater-in-handle stations.
How long does one tip last?
Depends on heat and technique, but mine have stayed clean and tinned across many sessions, and five tips stretch a long way. Keep the point tinned when idle, wipe rather than file, and don’t run them glowing hot — do that and a pack lasts a good long while.
Bottom line
For an old-school 936-type station, these FEITA tips are an easy recommendation: precise points, proper fit, and five of them for the price of one. Turn the heat up a notch and they’ll do everything you ask. check current price on Amazon
