Abstract
A thermal tool and tip for the tool are disclosed. The tip includes a twisted loop of heat generating wire where the ends thereof are adapted for insertion into electrical connectors in the end of the tool. The loop is twisted at an intermediate portion and terminates in a working tip end. The flexibility of the working tip end with respect to the legs can be varied by selecting the location of the twisted portion relative to the legs.
