Replace the tip on your 45-watt desoldering iron.
Very useful, but wears out quickly.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This tip is very useful for desoldering parts from circuit boards, but as others have commented it wears out fairly quickly. One tip is good for a couple of projects. Make sure you have a few spares in the drawer.

Desoldering Tip #64-2061 is inferior to Iron Clad Desoldering Tip #64-2062. Tip #64-2061 wears out too quickly. Unfortunately, the iron clad tip is apparently discontinued.
