Trusted by thousands of professionals and hobbyists alike, it ensures precise, long-lasting solder joints and a cleaner, more efficient workflow. ## Description The Hakko 599B-02 is a replacement solder tip cleaning wire sponge. These sponges are hard enough to remove debris and some corrosion from the solder tips while being soft enough not to damage the tip. They help to remove oxides and excess solder to preserve tip life and enable clean, precise soldering. Review: Get this - you need one for your soldering kit. - Simple, yet highly effective solution to cleaning a soldering iron tip. When I first started out learning to use my new soldering iron, I used the sponge included with my stand. I did not have the Hakko 599B-02 at that time, and between inexperience, poor technique, I managed to destroy a soldering iron tip. Now, I am not going to blame it entirely on the sponge, however, I will say, that the sponge did allow me to keep cooling down my too-hot iron, and I never realized that it was three times hotter than it should be. That was until solder stopped sticking to anything, my tip oxidized, I could not clean it - even after getting the Hakko - or tin it. I swapped in a new tip, figured out my temperature issue, learned a few new tricks, and integrated the Hakko into my soldering process. All of a sudden, I found that I had a glistening silver soldering iron tip. The Hakko easily took off excess solder as I tinned the tip, without cooling the tip. I was quickly and easily making electrical connections that looked like the ones on the YouTube videos that I had been watching. My little solder joints looked like tiny shiny volcanos, ready to facilitate electron movement. Did the Hakko make all of this happen? No, not all of it. BUT - having the missing piece of equipment in my home hobby workshop pointed out some major flaws in my technique and process that was holding me back. Now I am making major progress. The first night after having the Hakko I was finally able to complete two kits from start to finish - A binary 24-hour LED clock and a digital 7-segment alarm clock - neither of which would have been possible before having this missing piece of equipment in my toolset. If you are just starting out, and putting together your electronics soldering kit, do not even consider skipping a solder tip cleaning wire kit like this. For your money, and for the way it will look on your workbench, get the Hakko. Review: Works great - This worked great for me. It came well packaged and seems sturdy enough. Does what it’s supposed to do and it didn’t feel cheap to me. Should last a long time. ## Features - Cleans better than conventional sponges - No water required - Will not reduce the tip temperature - Does not cause premature wear of soldering iron tips - No contamination risk compared to conventional tip tinners ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,387 Reviews | ## Images ![599B-02 Solder Tip Cleaning Wire and Holder, 1 PACK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FLYQuCjFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get this - you need one for your soldering kit. *by L***E on February 24, 2016* Simple, yet highly effective solution to cleaning a soldering iron tip.

It came well packaged and seems sturdy enough. Does what it’s supposed to do and it didn’t feel cheap to me. Should last a long time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best soldering tip cleaner around! *by J***E on April 8, 2013* When I used to work in a full-line consumer electronics service center we had these on every workbench. During that time I came to have a great appreciation for this type of tip cleaner. That said, this Hakko tip cleaner is even better than the ones we had at the service center due to the container they are in. It captures all the little bits of solder it clean off and has a lid to keep them from spilling in the event it gets knocked over. This design is really a lifesaver, and if you've ever had one of this type of tip cleaner fall over that was one that didn't have the cap with the access hole in it, well, you'll really appreciate it as when a few thousand tiny flakes of solder fall into something you're working on, that is not a good day, and with this model that just won't happen. There is one caveat to this item, but it is easy to workaround. The container is too light so it is easy to accidentally knock over. But, if you just toss a few coins or some other flat piece of metal into the bottom that has some heft to it, that is mitigated. Also as mentioned already, even though it is easily knocked over without adding some weight, it isn't the day killer that an open top one is due to the clever lid. This type of tip cleaner is not only very effective at keeping your tip nice and clean, it also doesn't cause much if any thermal loss, so there is no appreciable waiting period after cleaning your tip for thermal recovery as there is using a wet sponge. This is a godsend when working on a project/repair that requires many soldering joints and a real time saver. One other thing to note is that some people have complained that the enclosure for the cleaning pad is made from plastic and expressing concern that a 500degF iron contacting it would melt it. Wile it is made from plastic, even a 900degF iron will not melt it. There are many different types of plastic in the world and not all melt easily. This is one type that certainly does not melt easily. I tested this by holding my iron against it while set to 900degF and held it there for about 2 min. There were no marks or softening of the plastic, and certainly no melting or burning! I thought it would be useful to note this for anyone who may have concerns about the enclosure being plastic. Again, just make sure you weight it down and you're golden. Also, some have mentioned that they may be better off using a copper kitchen scrubbie. This is NOT the case, copper tends to oxidize very badly and rapidly. The brass alloy used to make these resists oxidation well and certainly does not grow all the nasties that a pure copper scrub pad would. The other option some have mentioned is using a green scrub pad instead... which while that does work, it is far inferior to the cleaning provided by this. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this item to anyone who does more than a very minimal amount of soldering. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hakko 599B-02 Solder Tip Cleaning Wire and Holder, 1 PACK - Thermaltronics TMT-TC-2 Tip Tinner (20g) in 0.8oz Container - Lesnow solder wick braid 10ft Length Desoldering Wick Braid Remover Tool Solder Sucker 1 piece No-Clean soldering Wick Wire Roll and Disassemble Electrical Components --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1746789-599b-02-solder-tip-cleaning-wire-and-holder-1-pack](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1746789-599b-02-solder-tip-cleaning-wire-and-holder-1-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
