“Sometimes it's just nice to have something small, practical and inexpensive that brings a little brightness to those everyday soldering activities. The brass tip cleaner for your iron is just one of those things. It does everything right that you'd want from a tip cleaner - grippy feet so it doesn't move around when you're cleaning your tip and it's simple to open when you need to dispose of bits of accumulated solder and wire. Oh and it looks great too! (As a side note, the easiest way to open the holder to move the brass sponge around or to empty the holder is to place your thumb inside the top of the upper hasp and gently grip the top of the holder between your thumb and index finger, then with your other hand lightly grasp the bottom half to hold it in place on your workbench - don't hold it too firmly or the two halves won't separate; then gently twist, rock and lift the upper half free from the lower half).”
