Harbor Freight Soldering iron

[66Fmustang]

I recently purchased the new harbor freight butane soldering iron I figured at work we crimp most of out connections but it would be nice to have a cheap butane soldering iron. So I bought it and the first thing I realized was that it only came with one tip and it was pointed, normally I use a flat tip for most solder jobs so I was curious if anyone out there has found tips that will work for the Harbor Freight Iron or if the tips are usually pretty universal

They used to come with 2 tips and a blade for cutting plastic and whatnot

I can't find it on their website. Please post a photo or link.

I’m pretty sure it’s new but I haven’t seen it in any fliers since I bought it. It is butane

Thanks, must be a new item, I've not seen it before. Rather than drag out a cordless iron for a single wire solder job, I often just use a disposable cigarette lighter. But I may just pick one of these up!

They used to have it then it disappeared

I picked one up yesterday. Tried it out last night, seemed to work well.
