I've used these replacements for years. I usually double them up inside the bucket they go in, but then switch out the top brass cleaner with a new one when it gets too abused. The double thickness helps keep the soldering iron from hitting the bottom of the bucket. I've used a temp-controlled iron for 20-30hrs a week for a good stretch and these last quite a while.If I'm doing that heavy of soldering I do have to clean out the bucket and pick larger pieces of solder that accumulates out of the brass cleaner -- otherwise when I go to clean the iron I still end up with solder on the tip since too much has accumulated in the brass wire. But it's a couple minutes to dump out the bucket and clean larger pieces out of the brass wire, then back to soldering. These brass cleaners hold up pretty well before having to be replaced. Definitely recommend over sponges that need to be wet. But, you will need to initially purchase the holder bucket for them. I can't imagine trying to use a holder that wasn't made for these and making it work.

A single brass sponge and a container came with my soldering iron but I wanted some replacements as I do quite a bit of soldering when making suncatchers. These Thermaltronics B10 cleaning wire sponges work great as replacements, fit the container well, and keep the tip of the soldering iron clean and ready to use. I would buy these again.

These don't work as well as other ones I've used but they are still good if you're looking to clean your soldering iron. It comes with a pretty good amount, which is justified.

My old one was all clogged up and I needed a new one. A bit smaller than the old so I just put a few in the container and it works great!

I'm still relatively new to soldering, and still learning what is quality (or not) in tools and supplies. These were bought to replace the brass cleaner that came with my iron stand. I didn't think there would be any difference in them, it's just a ball of brass. But these are less "grabby" than the original one I had which I had to press really firmly to get the tip inside the brass to get it clean. The tip goes in easier and smoothly and still cleans well.This is only my 2nd experience with brass cleaners, so not sure if more expensive ones would be even better or not, but am satisfied with these.

These measure about 65mm in diameter and not quite 20mm thick. I weighed one and it was 11.79g. They need to be about 50% larger.

Ten of these at this price point is very generous. I bought them to replace the one in my ancient Radio Shack branded brass tip sponge. Others who are hoping to replace the brass sponge of a Radio Shack tip cleaner, expect to combine 2-3 brass sponges to replace the stock Radio Shack one. For Hakko replacement? One is more than enough. No matter how you roll the dice, this is one of the best offerings on the market for solder freaks like me.

Eponge un peu petite pour mon support , mais il suffit d'en mettre 2 , puis de les retourner lorsque la 1ère à fait son temps . Donc je valide !Nettoie très bien mon fer a souder , je recommande !

Para limpiar la punta del soldador va de lujo. Y si tienes que frotar el socarrat de una olla te hace el apaño.

I wish I knew about this a long time ago. Have always just used the wet sponge. This brass style cleans more efficiently and keeps the tip in better condition.Each one is about size of golf ball. I just stuff 2 of them into a metal tin and it works great. It came nice and shiny. Package of 10 which will last a long time.

Leggermente più piccole delle classiche pagliette da saldatura, ma avendone 10 a questo prezzo non esiste problema. Ne ho messe semplicemente due invece che una nel contenitore per spugnette cbe già usavo. Puliscono le punte alla perfezione, molto meglio di quelle in rame. Consigliate
