Highlights
- Wire-mesh cleaning ball for soldering iron tips
- Comes with a metal dross box that catches the cleaned-off solder
- Dry cleaning, so it does not cool the tip as much as a wet sponge
- Listed for desoldering and general tip maintenance
Best for
Anyone with a soldering iron who still uses a wet sponge and wants a tidier setup.
Things to consider
- The title does not state the box size or the exact wire material beyond copper
- A tip cleaner does not replace tinning; add fresh solder to the tip after cleaning to stop oxidation
- Typical delivery to the US is roughly 1 to 3 weeks, and import charges may appear at checkout; returns and refunds go through AliExpress Buyer Protection

Typically around 1 to 3 weeks. There is a second listing for what looks like the same item at a lower price.
